I finally made my decision that I will sell my ipod touch 4th gen 8gb, I bought it last month and it is second hand but it still works well, some scratches due to daily usage but screen protected in front. I bought this because it has a front cam for skyping with my mother in Israel, then week after my mother in law arrived from Japan she gave her ipad 4 to my husband, but he seldom used it because he prefer to used his computer and ps3 .. Now I badly need money for my cousin's wedding I want to attend personally, she is very closed to me and now for her special day I want to be there, but my mother didn't give me a money so I will just sacrifice my own gadget just to attend my cousin's wedding. But it is okay with me my ipod is just my material happiness but no one can pay my happiness when I am with my love ones. :)

I know that you feel that you really need to be with your cousin on her special day. But do you really need to sell the ipod?

I see.... I am sure your cousin will greatly appreciate your presence. And I also hope that your monoline system will help you earn a lot. Then you can be able to buy another ipod.

yes, that is actually what I am thinking of. :) If there are something that we will lose expect that we have better than what we've lose. :)

hey kmz, it's really nice of you to sell your own stuff because you want to attend you cousin's wedding. You are right, an ipod is just something material and family definitely gives us more job that an ipad :) However, if you do not have enough money, why not find a job to supplement your income?

How old are you now? so your income is strictly from your mother?

Yes, i totally agree with you.. You can just buy another gadget later and even a better one at that, since new gadget usually come almost every month. Bu then a wedding is just once in a lifetime and you would have so much more fun in it.. have a nice trip.

i totally agree with your choice, it is always better to choose the important occasions or relations than the gadget.. although i do not have expensive gadgets, i would totally do the same if i had it. I do love weddings , they are just full of joy, hope and also good food; and you will enjoy it so much especially if it is of a good friend.

That's good of you. Making the loved ones happy is far greater than the material happiness. Material can be bought more at any time with money but happiness can't be bought with money. So, you did the right thing

when you want to gain something ,you have to pay some price. it is permanent.in our life,we must make our choices everyday.accept something and reject something,choose something and give up something.in your condition, you choose to attend your cousin's wedding and give up your ipod.the former thing must make you happier.i very much agree with your choice.

Hello Kmz. You are a very nice sister to your cousin. After she knows that you will sell your favorable Ipod touch, she will be all the more appreciated for whatever the nice gift you give her. It is well said that Ipod touch is just kind of material happiness, but the mental happiness with our loved ones is more important and indispensible. Enjoy your life and have a good day, kmz.

Like what you said, you can always buy another iPod touch, but you can never bring back that special and important moment of your loved one. It is just a material possession, I agree, and from the sounds of it it doesn't have that much of a sentimental value to you. I know that the experience and joy on that occasion will be worth it.

Sometime you have to do, what you have to do, if you feel you should sell your ipod so that you can, go to you cousin's wedding then, that is what you have to do, I hope you are able to go, to the wedding and I hope you, have a nice time.
