Last week my $350 Camera fell out of my back pack and broke to the point that it no longer works at all. I was so upset with myself because I feel that lately I have not been paying attention to my surroundings as much as I should be and felt completely responsible (I am currently planning a wedding taking place in 3 months from now and my mind if fried). I love photography and love taking pictures to keep memories, but at the same time I am trying to save money. To make matters worse I was going to a concert that same weekend and was panicked about having a camera for it which I feel contributed to my "compulsive" buying. I spent the day looking at cameras and ended up buying an SLR camera and a lens for $1008.58. Although I think that the camera is awsome, the quality is excellent, and I have the money, I can't help but feel guilty about buying this expensive of a camera at this time. I currently am uninsured, am getting married in 3 months, bought a ring for my fiance that costs $1200 (which I don't regret at all), have been buying supplies for the wedding totaling around $500 and just can't help but feel that this wasn't the time to buy such an expensive thing.
I have always been a frugal person and worry alot about money. I also would like to start a family soon with my soon to be husband and want to be a stay at home mom for a while as well. I have been saving for this dream for quiet some time now, this is another reason I feel guilty and feel that I got a little carried away with my spending.
What I am asking is if anyone else has ever felt this way, if I did make a poor decision and what I should do in the end? In some ways I want to return it, but in some ways I don't. I feel so confused and overwhelmed lately that I don't know what the right choice is anymore or if I am worrying about nothing.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
