Well, so far I have yet to get any CZ or G yet. But I know it wont be long. Till then, I shoot with whatever lens I have. Hoping that one day, this passion of mine, can help me generate some income to sustain my BBB eventually. |

i shudder... basically i set myself a budget each week, a rolling total, so if i don't spend the "available" amount gets snowballed. helps me manage my spending, in a way, did well in 2005, 2006 slight overrun, then last year went through the roof, this year not even 5 months have passed and i'm almost kissing dec 08's balance. funny i came across this thread now, i was updating my budget file today, a little concerned abt the total, then Ruby photo called, the bowens are back in stock and they've reserved a set for me. i nearly wanted to turn ard before SSC and forget abt servicing my 7D if not meeting koh to pass him his wacom tablet.ah, my fellow spender..

but its still controlled spending. as i've always advocated, set a comfortable weekly budget and "roll" it in a spreadsheet (whatever that amount is - $10, $100 etc). then that way even if you overspend you will always be reminded and as long as one is disciplined enough and a good steward of his resources, he won't chalk up a huge investment in 6 mths and wonder why he's broke. i've actually used this to let deals go by, believe it or not.

Actually photography not tat ex considering lens have resell value if u mainten it well
When I was in my early 20's, I'm into mountain biking and it damn ex in singapore with every parts costing hundred to thousands.....and if u look at the amount of parts need to setup a bike and maintenance cost, u'll know photography is way better......just to give a few example of my expenses, Frame/Body : $650/- Tires : @ $100/- each for mid-range Wheelset : $500/- Front Sus : $1350/- Handlebar : $120/- Monthly Servicing : $20-50 Most of my parts r just among the top mid-range and I had two bikes last time..... But when I sell them off after 4 years, only get back 25% not forgeting the injuries n scars I got from MTB.......
