Ching Wants a New Camera
Posted on October 21, 2006 by Ching under Life, Toys, Wishlist.

Here’s what I really want for Christmas. I probably won’t get it, though. We have much more practical needs. A new camera really isn’t on top of our list.
Besides I still have my two cameras (the Powershot G3 that I paid $700 for back in the day and then Powershot SD10 that cost me $400 six months after I bought the G3) and my handy, dandy camera phone.
The funny thing is, four years ago I probably wouldn’t even flinch at ordering this stupid camera. It was just a matter of a mouse click. It’s amazing how so much more responsible I am now about spending. No more extravagant, frivolous, flamboyant expeditures. Gone are those days. And good riddance! The financial freedom I feel now (of not having credit card bills looming over my head) was totally worth the sacrifice.
As for my birthday… In keeping with our more pragmatic, minimalist new lifestyle, Brian is getting my car windows tinted on Monday. No fancy jewelry, no new camera, no shopping spree. We opted to go the practical route. I am going to get so much more out of tinted windows than I ever would any kind of birthday trinket. Anyway, Bebot deserves it.
