since i blew my wad on yet another car repair last week (this time it was the defrost fan motor which decided to call it quits at pretty much the exact moment winter weather started in earnest – awesome!), i’ve started day-dreaming about what i’m going to do with my income tax refund come March.
yeah, i know; but sometimes you just gotta have something to look forward to, you know?
so, i’m thinking about selling my Nikon D70 and buying a new D60 or D80 to replace it. i figure i could maybe get $250-300 for the D70, body only. that would mean i’d only have to shell out $250-400 more for the upgrade. bonus: i’d get to keep my lenses! i’m mostly thinking about the upgrade because i finally got up to 10,000 actuations and i think i remember reading something somewhere which said it was all downhill from there. plus, 4 more megapixels would come in handy, not to mention 100 and 3200 ISO!
of course, this is probably just day-dreaming on my part. two weeks ago i was salivating over a desk chair at Staples, but when it came to shelling out the cash i totally backed down. it’s far too nice a feeling to see my bank account balances get bigger instead of smaller (or, worse yet, my credit card balances get bigger!) to succumb to the siren song of big ticket non-essential purchases.
