Yeah Acadia, that's definitely true and I never meant to imply otherwise. Many of the things I buy now I wouldn't have considered buying just a year ago, when I was still in slogging my way through school. The way I look at it though, I can regard something as being both expensive (and in many cases too expensive for me) and a good value/bargain at the same time. FWIW though I hope your financial situation improves soon. I've been there myself and I know it ain't fun.
