[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a kid I support all by myself (mother gone, never sees him anymore, no child support), I probably make 1/3 what you do, and I have two Leicas. I spend money on my son, too. I spend virtually nothing on myself. I wear my clothes till they literally fall apart. I don't drink, smoke, or use drugs. I don't waste money on music or movies. I drive a car I bought used, cheap, and I do my own car repairs. I live for my art and my son (he wears nice clothes and I spend money so he can enjoy life, he didn't choose to be a monk for art's sake). My point is, that someone likely much wealthier than I can afford to buy Leica and have kids. You just have to prioritize what else you spend money on. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 4/2/12 4:10 AM, "John McMaster" <john at chiaroscuro.co.nz> wrote: >You think I could afford to buy Leica and have children??
