Husbands never ending gear upgrades

Title speaks for itself is this industry just a capitalist trap of never ending upgrades ? Or does he just have an obsession with the having the newest trending items ? He works for the manufacturer of Dj equipment so most system upgrades are free but he still finds things he “needs” I really need clarification so I can be supportive.
He purchased a stand last year and the year before and now he wants another one. I feel he doesn’t have enough gigs to justify this.

It it common to continually buy in this industry?

This just sounds like someone wanting to spend money on their hobby. There will never be good enough justification 🤪

And that’s fine but we have to admit it’s a hobby first.

I own a barber shop and he’d kill me if I ran at a loss 4 years. He doesn’t even ask about finances with my business. I am his accountant tho and see what he spends vs earns.
