With the financial news going south these days, I just thought of a crazy idea to recession proof your money. BUY MORE LENSES!
The logic is if you got some money to put away, most of us will put into the bank and earn a meager <1% or slightly more. Not to mention the shaky ground that banks are in now and with only a guarantee of $20k. Looking at the resale price of lenses, I think it is a darn good investment. IF you calculate the price of FUN + your resale cost of your lenses 1 year down the road, I'm sure you'll agree it is the best investment at the moment :bsmilie:
OK, some of you may diversify to a more stable gold...but where is the fun in that..think about it!
