Hmm. Good question. Everyone has their means.. I work two jobs and still don't make enough. Probably why I don't ever buy gear.

I just wonder where some of you people get the money, wow Learn what your IQ number is, determine the highest paying job you could do with that IQ level, get the required education and go to work in that field. The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.

Jul 14, 2010 16:15 | #291 People make it sound so easy. But it must be for some because so many of you have stuff. I told my wife we could make $200k per year and still be broke. Maybe after they take my home and car I'll have money for gear.

Those who have money to invest in gear are very fortunate. I am very fortunate to afford the gear I have. It is little in comparison to what some on this forum have but it is much more than the average person has so I am blessed.

I have already sold it and I am still paying for it now and for the next 4months. but when I upgraded, I bought everything in cash, saved me a lot of money in discounts and I have no debt to worry about. I do that. Save till I can afford to pay cash. Then no money trail.
