Actual Blog and Introducing Project Camera
Well rather than talking about some random nothingness, I figure I would actual update about my life….
Today Jay and I went out shopping. We received out HST cheque. (Which is some extra money the government is throwing at us to make up for the fact they’re raising the taxes… but who am I to complain? :)) I’ve been wanting a camera for a very long time, ever since mine broke last year. But that’s a want…. and there are things we need more. So today we splurged and got a new monitor. It was something we needed since I was spending 10 min at a time hitting the old one to get it to work. We went to 4 different stores and the last one we went to (The Source) had one for $99. It’s actually really nice, and 18 inch I think? But it really got me thinking and my newest project… Project Camera 
Pretty much I’m going to be scrounging, budgeting, and saving for a new camera. It’s something I really miss having. I miss taking pics of the boys and pets. I also really want to start vlogging as well. So my game plan is:
- Set aside $25 – $50 every pay
- Collect all the change in the house (and there is a lot!)
- Sell a few things on Ebay and Kijiji
- Try to lower our monthly bills by another $100
- No extra purchases or fast food!
Money has always been something I’ve struggled with, especially saving. But I think this will be a great learning point. I’ve learned a lot over the last few years and have gained some good skills. Time to put them to the test.
As for what camera I’m getting… I’m not 100% sure. I’m still doing a lot of research. But I looked around a lot today and to get something with the features I want I’m looking at about $250. So wish me luck and I’ll keep you posted. Well that’s about it for now, I closed at work tonight and have to be there again first thing in the morning so I’m off to sleepy land. Night everyone.
I love cameras. It seems you have a good plan worked out, and since you only need to go up to the low hundreds I’m sure you will have a new camera in no time. the camera I want is in the thousands. :o BTW, I suggest Canon.
I wish my government would throw me some money. Damn bastards.
I always get giddy when I purchase new electronics. I guess I have that trait similar with most of the male population. What sort of camera are you looking into? Any particular brands spark your interest? I have a 10MP ( I think?) Sanyo something or other. I don’t know. I just bought it because it is purple and has a lot of megapixels and a rechargeable battery. lol
Everyone I’ve ever mentioned cameras too has suggested Canon.
I have a couple models in mind that I’ll post about soon…..
Hehe purple is rechargeable battery would be reasons I would buy a camera lol.
I never experienced any problems with Canon, they are my favs!! Good luck, I hope to see you snapping pics soon around the neighbourhood!
