Angie I agree with the others, as long as its not interfering with your other household expenses thats ok to indulge. As far as the GPS I love mine and you also will be needing and using it a lot. I ended up returning the Garmin and brought Tom Tom 700 I love it!! I wouldn't leave home without it..lol I have a bluetooth but I can't get use to it so the darn thing sits on my dresser.. lol
Angie you have spent your money wisley and as my favorite financial advisor on tv Susie Orman would say on her can I afford it segement!! You have been approved!! so enjoy .... |

Congratulations on your purchases and with being able to purchase them at great savings. I know how you feel Angie, I always feel guilty when I spend money even when I've saved up for it. I'm so use to saving that when I spend, I feel so guilty.
We both need to learn 'we can't take it with us' and enjoy our purchases.

I think that you deserve a pat on the back for working and saving for what you want instead of putting it on a credit card. That's a very good financial move. Don't feel guilty about getting what you've saved for because that's what you WERE saving for. Enjoy it! Congratulations on all of your great buys!!!!

Now that this stuff is out of the way, we will be saving much more aggressively for a down payment on a home. I can't imagine how happy (and worried) I'll be when we sign the paperwork for a house if buying a camera makes me feel this guilty! lol Marilyn, here's my new camera: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0801/08...noneos450d.asp I'm so excited about having an IS lens. It makes a huge difference in quality. I'll eventually get an even better lens if I keep doing weddings, but for now, this one will do just fine. There are lots of improvements between my current camera and this one, but it's all technical stuff that probably wouldn't mean much to those who aren't really into photography.

Wow, Angie, that looks like an amazing camera. I was wondering if your photographer boss had converted you to Nikon. Looks like he hasn't!!
 Your Canon looks awesome!!!

Looks like a great camera.
It's also nice to see a young person that is so concerned about her finances, so many of our young these days have gotten themselves into unmanagable debt. |
