Lee, been there mate, although my re-evaluation was brought on by health issues. In my case i realised there were other things I wanted to do, and having completed the Southern Hemisphere nebula imaging i was losing inspiration anyway.
I have sold off most of my scopes, kept just the CGX in the Obs, an my APO, if the inspiration returns. I do not regret selling my scopes, well maybe the MN190, briefly. With some of the money from selling scopes I am able to fund new hobbies.
There are plenty of potential interests/hobbies for a youngster like yourself.
