I think I'm quite materialistic. I'm not so materialistic that my life is defined by my things and I don't splurge on BIG things. What I do is I weigh my options and buy a lot of smaller things. For example, I wanted to buy the canon SLR decided to go with the sony t-9 cause it goes for about 30% of the price of the SLR, just so I could buy some other stuff with the money I saved..and I love all my belongings!

I am not meterialistic. Maybe because I don't have any reason to be, with a caring hubby who indulges my every wish.

I've been looking at a Nikon D80. Not in the budget yet, but when I do splurge, I'll be able to deduct it from my taxes due to my side job. Anyways, off subject. I know what you mean about wanting lots of things. I personally tend to go for fewer more expensive things as then I don't clutter everything up. More things= more space.lol

I've been looking at that one too. I wonder if I could deduct it from my taxes if I take a photography class at college and say I needed it for school? Hehe. Never really thought about that. But I am considering taking some photography courses, although, mostly to learn my film SLR.

I don't think I am. But sometimes I want nice things. Currently, I'm saving for an SLR.
I try not to buy a bunch of small things, but I do end up buying jewelry quite a bit, although, not as much lately. I also have quite a collection of musical instruments, and now I guess I'd really like to sell them.

I agree, I am not materialistic, but I do like to have quality things. I am a researcher and like to get the best bang for my buck.
I have a digital camera, a cell phone, a PDA, and iPod and my Apple computer. None of them are or were top of the line when I bought them, but I think I got the best value. They had what I needed/wanted and I am happy.
