What have you got - Total Cost

I made the PC myself. (core 2 duo e8400@3.0Ghz, 6gb ddr2 @ I forgot what frequency) a little above $1000 maybe... (I built this as a game rig in 2009)
cans: sony mdr-v6, maybe $65 and some change.
monitors: lol
DAW: FL Studio 10 $400 :)

I got kontakt 5 running east west storm drum and symphobia 2, I also have east west symphonic orchestra gold. I also have the izotope ozone 5 mastering suite. My EQ of choice is actually FL Studio's built in parametric EQ 2, I can use this thing with my eyes closed.

No controller for me, it's all done by a $20-$30 logitech mouse/keyboard combo.

My creativity...Priceless!

But in all seriousness probably a lot. I don't even want to add it up. Most of it was bought 2nd hand so I have a lot more than I paid of that makes sense.
 
I've gotten really lucky in 2016 and haven't had to spend much at all.

FL Studio : 262$
Dell Latitude E6510: Free from a friend
Samson SR950: 80$
Ability to make my own art, websites, and promotion: priceless
(CAD)

Not much is needed to make good, just inspiration and motivation that can't be bought.
Produced my first year using laptop speakers and earbuds, probably won't have monitors and a MIDI controller for another year, might not ever have a studio.

Maybe I should just get a job lol, I can't be 16 forever :P
