That Tax break is coming and APPARENTLY I'm supposed to spend it instead of hording it way with all my other piles of money.
MONEY!
MONEY!!
...
Anyway, I figured the best way to spend this stuff is to blow it on upgrading my art equipment. After all, I have absolutely no time for any new video games, and I can't upgrade my TV or speakers without Breaking the 500 dollar mark. Besides if I ever get the motivation to turning a profit on this stuff (not with overwherehoused T-shirts, but products people would actually want,) Then it might be a good investment.
Question is, Where do I upgrade. We have a few Options.
One: New Computer. The Computer I use now is approaching it's 3rd birthday. It's seems like only yesterday I was Downloading "The Bards song" off limewire, realizing how it wasn't a good idea for a cartoon, and worked on Legend of Luik instead.
It is starting to get a bit slower and louder, and I'll probably need a laptop in the Future. However MacBooks are over 1000 bucks, and I've actually gotten used to carrying a amall notebook and pencil around for the portable work.
Two: Upgrading Flash. I've been working off Flash MX (7) for god knows how long, and software upgrading would be in my price-range. Granted though, I'm not sure I really need it, and if I want to upgrade, it may require a faster computer, which brings me back to option one. I'm probably going to wait until I get a new computer. I could probably find one that has flash 8 or whatever, included in the system.
Three: New Tablet. Oh, this is the real tempting one here. My Current Tablet is about 4 by 6 and I've had it for about 2 years. But I have been having a pushing on M8BG's Art lately and a larger sensitive tablet could help me some.
Something Like this, is tempting.
And this one might be worth the extra cash.
But this one would definitely be a step up for me. I'd have to save up some money on my own to get it, but it's definitely a possiblity.
So the current gameplan is probably splurging on the Wacom Moniter Tablet and then, when I do need to replace my computer, getting a mac mini or something else portable that doesn't come with a it's own monitor. Still, to make that work, I'll have to really tighten my current budget and focus My education and My Current Hobbies into something that I can live off of so that getting this tablet will seem like a sound enough investment for me. We'll see how things look when I actually get the tax break though. I just felt like sharing.
