I spent over 20 years of my life as a touring musician and bailed just before technology became accessible to everyone.
I had a fair bit of success in the '80s through early '90s, but you could honestly make more money as a burger flipper than as a musician in Canada back then unless you worked constantly. Which I did. Tons of work and tons of travel for so little financial return.
Recording studios were fucking expensive during that period. A demo recording at Comfort Sound or MetalWorks could cost upwards of 10 grand if you hired a half-decent engineer.
The Canadian music industry was a horrible little incestuous business back in those days. Could still be now, for all I know.
