When you're frantically rushing about trying to pay for a load of crap that you "can't live without", how can you stop and notice those decisive moments? ;-) My suggestion is not to work extra hard, but rather, to be more focused, and telling yourself that having a good camera and the time to really develop one's craft is important; more so than having call-waiting, call-forwarding, or a new 4x4 with leather seats and air, to replace the one that broke because no one had time to maintain it properly!
