Sorry, you guys can ignore me if you want, but I don't really have anyone to talk to about these things...
I bought a camera the other week. It cost me 1500 dollars (which I saved up from working) I had roughly 3500 saved. I ended up getting an accessory thing with it so it came to 1900 (my dad paid the difference and said it will be my bday gift) Now...I told my friend when I first got it how much it cost and she was just like cool, w/e. Like it didn't matter. Then today I was talking to her about stuff saying I want to buy a guitar, but I don't have a lot of money now with xmas coming up and a possible trip to florida. So I was like I duno how I'll do that..(I started guitar lessons and I really enjoy it, but renting will end up costing more then buying one) Anyway, I told her again about the cam and my money situation and shes like 1900 for a camera?! -jaw drops- I CANNOT justify paying THAT much for a camera!!! I was like well it was only 1500 for the cam, and it's a good camera. She's like still, I just can't justify paying even that much......when before when I told her it was like no big deal. It's so irrataing. It's my money, I worked very hard for it...I don't see what the deal is. If she went and spent 3000 on something I'd be like 'good for you' if it was somethingi knew she wanted a lot and was going to use.
-sigh- Sorry for whining. It seems to be all im good at
