Memory is like $3-4/GB (decently fast DDR4). And you've been fine with 16GB for a decade without upgrading.
If you're stuck on some un-upgradable old budget device, it's unlikely the memory holding you back either.

I have 64GB of memory total and about 16-32 of it is in use for virtual machines, which is reasonable. How much total memory do you expect the average computer to have?
