First off no one ever has to set their dreams aside for a job, a car, a family, money and behaving well.
I have/do all of those things and I still cling to the hope that one day I will be able to support myself solely with music.
I'm 36, have a decent job, a wife and daughter, a couple of nice cars, a house. Having money coming in has enabled me to purchase things that I use to support my art:
computers, software, keyboards, a grand piano.
There is certainly a trade ... but you should never hang it up no matter what anyone tells you.
