Jean wirtes:
Oh, I do object to the price of cars today, I find it ridiculous for people to pay extra for leather seats and a good sound system in a car when they sit on furniture from Wallmart's and listen to a cheap sound system at home. My car needs a new paint job, but I will buy a painting for my house instead of letting my neighbors see a shiny car. Each person has their 'weak spot'. Some women spend major money on $300 purses...Buy 10 of them and you've paid for a lens that a bird enthusiast or a sports photographer (even one who is only an enthusiast) can use! Some people pay fortunes for 'collectible' items yet never sell them later, they merely tie up their money. Some squander their money paying for $100 a seat performances (stage, musical performance, etc) and have only a couple of hours for their expense. Different strokes for different folks. --Wilt |

You are so right, my sister spends way more on clothes than I do on lenses and camera gear. The trouble with this is that it's so easy to justify the purchase of a big ticket item such as: smoking a pack a day = $3000 per year, I don't smoke so I can buy a $3000 lens. On the other hand, I drop all my change in a pot, after a year, I get about $1000 from all those rolls of coins, then I just blow it on a nice piece of gear and I don't feel guilty about it at all ;-) Jean |
