Well ok. I won’t complain. My husband bought me a new laptop. My 14yr old Mac died last week, a couple days after a new camera came. It was either a new computer of some,sort or sell my cameras. That’s not happening so I’ll get a Mac laptop on Saturday.

Did you get the new computer, or did hubby end up scammed with a new camera/lens?

Got the laptop yesterday. It’s at my sons, with my old everything. He’ll do his thing and get it set up.

I'm a wife who would rather get a new camera and lens than expensive jewelry.

I had an email about my allege new hobby of touching myself in front of a webcam while looking at other photographs/videographers work. Obviously I didn't click on the link.

If you're buying anything at the holidays, you're being scammed. How?

You're conditioned to think this is a time of year for spending. You're letting others influence how you live your life.

New things won't make you happy for long. There is a correlation between how much stuff we have and our happiness.

Buy less, live better.
