I think I've clearly established, if not via the title of this blog, than definitely in several of my past posts, that ranting is a part of me, and I'm not afraid to go there. And by going there, I mean make a fuss, a ruckus, or even a scene [depending on my mood, blood sugar levels, and the severity of the situation] in public when I feel as though someone is trying to get one over on me--especially when it comes to money. So when I decided to purchase my first DSLR camera a few months ago, I knew it would be an investment, and promptly did my research, and selected the shiny new camera of my dreams. I made a plan to save the cash for this camera, and did what any smart shopper would do--I stalked this camera on every website available online for weeks. I went to visit it in person at Best Buy to play around with it, and get a feel for it--and to ask the sales associate when/if it would go on sale. When it comes to big purchases, I don't play. I had a meticulously detailed plan of how, when, and where I would purchase my camera, and I was fairly pleased with myself for not going entirely ape $hit when my savings plan got blown out of the water every. single. paycheck. due to unforeseen expenses. If there's one thing I've been trying to teach myself, it's to not freak out over things that you can't do a damn thing about. But Lord knows, I have my limits...
