Alex excellent advise. I have learned the value in tracking your expenses, I keep a spreadsheet and update it for every transaction i do. It helps me rationalize what I can set aside for general savings, and Astro savings.
There is of course a line where you should step of from saving and buy something to get started with. This mean setting realistic goals based on what you can currently afford and what you can save for the future. Otherwise you save and save and get no where.
Mike i completely agree with you on buying used equipment. Majority of my kit is used equipment.
