I wish I can think and act that way ....

I buy what I use ...  not to make money ..  would be making sense .. if I did study harder ... and be an engineer .. dentist .. lawyer .. etc in order to make more money ... haha ..

the two are not mutually exclusive
i can have a good paying job and make money on my gears at the same time

and of course I use my gears.

I shoot more images than everyone I know (other than those who do it for a living)

but you don't have to lose money on your stuff

He he ... I am lazy ...  when I have time ..  just sticky with my little son ...  

He is my precious gift from God .. ^_^

Don't get me wrong, when I was young, I didn't mind to do that, no matter from sports car to camera ..  spend time/research to buy some good used one .. and sell within short period .. not to make money, but minimize my lost/depreciation ....

Now? as a 3X yr old father Old Cake, just buy whatever new gears when they come out, not doing as much research ..  car .. just lease ...

Since you are in cowtown, living exp. is sooooo low compare to Vancouver.  You should have enough money to buy new toys for yourself.

But playing with kids is way more fun than M9, plus you barely have time to go out and shoot anyway.

LOW YOUR HEAD!! It is 2011 now, not 1986!!

Everything in Calgary is the MOST expensive in Canada .. (House price is second)

Even I make more money then 10 yr ago ..  but LESS money I can save!! (but bigger debt ... lol)

These kinds of camera is more like collectibles. For better investment? Maybe real estate market la!

so by that logic
if you can buy a condo for $400K
then $100K is nothing to you?
