Ever have your eye on something that you really want but definitely don't need?
What are you trying to keep yourself from buying right now? 🙂
Nothing really……. Less is more.
Having lived a rather itinerant life for many years, and still a low income without access to credit, I have to need or really want something before I add to my possessions. Owning too much is a hassle.
I didn't hesitate to buy the original Mac Mini when it first arrived in 2005. I was starting to need my own computer. I wanted something easily transportable from time to time, but I didn't want a portable. The Mini arrived at an opportune moment. I am on to my second Mac Mini, which should be good for another couple of years. It is the most expensive thing I own.
I could, however, be tempted by the Fujifilm X-Pro2.
I got my first digital camera about 4 years ago, an end of line special. Rugged, but with a few shortcomings. Still, people seemed to like my sports photos, many of which were used on websites. I wanted something better, so for a Fujifilm X20, which cost five times as much, but produces much better pictures. Quite a few are used in the local press. The X-Pro2 and a couple of lenses would cost five times as much again, but would be another step up in image quality…..
But if I did, a newer Mac Mini would really be required to make the most of it. The problem of the possessions treadmill, eh?
