Now THIS is my idea of inspirational !!!

I never really tried hard to save up for anything. Now, I have my inspiration, and it WILL be met, darnit! Thus far, I have somewheres around $230'ish. This 70-200 f/4 WILL BE MINE! *evil laughter ensues* lol

What a great idea! Hmm....

I'd spend some of it on a new keyboard. That one looks like it'd be a killer on your wrists.

Good luck saving the money, it'll certainly be worth it.

Oh my gosh!.. Looks like it should be teathered to a TRS 80

Geez man! If you can afford to throw a $50.00 bill in there why not just go buy the thing and pay it off? That's what plastic is for.

How much so far? How much longer?

THAT'S AWESOME!!! i have 4 jars like that! LOL one is for my trip to Vancouver this summer... an EF 17-40 f/4L USM, 50mm f/1.8 mkII and the EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro. I might have to drink some more coffee to get another jar for the 70-200 f/4. LOL. I have a system too, whatever amount of money I want to save up, I always try to put 80% to my vancouver, B.C. trip; 10% to the 17-40 and 5% towards the 50mm and 100mm. I should be able to get the 50mm in two weeks. I know the 50mm is cheap, but I can't deviate from my system.

I used to have a TRS-80 and DMP-400 setup... For something that ran TRS-DOS and Basic on 48 kilobytes of RAM and dual floppy drives, it was an excellent computer. Almost wish I'd kept it.

I have a copper pot with a total of about, hmmm A bunch of quarters for my next camera. The amount in it wouldn't even cover the tax on the camera strap, never mind buy the camera.

I like my keyboard, Logtech R27R25 Nice and wide and el cheapo, like $30.

I like simple, basic keyboards too, I hate those fancy expensive ones. Work got me a new machine with a fancy expensive keyboard, I went and got myself a 10 year old basic keyboard from a cupboard and used that instead!

Maybe I need a jar like that... I tend to buy whatever I want and worry about it later. The 70-200 2.8 IS is calling me very loudly right now...

Good Luck!

Don't use the plastic.....your on the right track

Then you can say you own it also!!!!

Good luck

Oohhh saving is hard. I try and save it in my wallet but that NEVER works!!! Time to do this me thinks otherwise my 20D will never actually be mine!

HAhahaha. Man if i did that, I'd be takin money from the jar to spend it on other things.
especially if the opening is "THAT" big.

I bet you can't wait to get that lens... you'll be happy with it. I know I am =)
