I would think that the access to greater sums of money will allow you to be more musically inclined. A musical hobby can get pricey.

I wanted to play the violin as a child, but we had no disposable income. When I became old enough for the public school concert band I wanted to play the trumpet. Well, that was a no go. Trumpets were not provided by the schools, but trombones were.

I hated that trombone. I played the hell out of it, but I always resented it. It was a symbol of poverty. (That was way off base, but I felt like responding to the poor/rich part of the post)
