    Starting piano / guitar lessons on Thursday. By that, I mean I am alternating between instruments until I pick one. Thinking of going with piano because I learnt it as a kid, but am considering guitar for something different, and also I wanna be a rockstar.

      They’re quite complementary instruments so you may end up sticking with both, even if you only pay for lessons for one

      Nah, not a rock star. Too much pressure and it takes over your life. You can never do normal stuff again.

      You want a single smash one hit wonder that gives you enough to live it up for a year, before you invest $10 Million or so. Then retire into obscurity living very comfortably off your investments for the rest of your life. 5% of $10 Million is an annual allowance of $500k.

      If you do want a lasting career, you want someone with the wealth and lifestyle, but not the fame. Someone like Dianne Warren or Max Martin. You can walk safely down the Street and nobody knows who you are. The only circles you’re famous in are rock stars and movie directors.
