A home studio is not for everyone. Home ownership may not be feasible or funds may not be available for purchasing a quality instrument. I can just hear my banker friends saying "But that's why the banks are here! We can help." However, the choice to add debt may not be attractive either, especially for young professionals with student loans. Home studios/ownership may not be compatible with contemporary lifestyles that include urban apartment living, delayed marriage or a desire for mobility.
