I'm a software engineer and picked up the ukulele because on of my kid was gifted one. When I feel tired or burnt I sit down and play a few songs and it actually gives me energy. I did play a bit of guitar in school so that helped me get going I guess.

I now have three ukuleles and a mini bass.

I'd save some money and do that now. You never know when you're going to get a disease or cancer , or just get old.

At least thats how I look at it. Cancer is a 50% chance, so may as well plan on that taming me out!
