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.

keeping all your reciepts and records can very lucrative at tax time too for those who have jobs and can come up with a good plausible reason to claim some of those goodies and expenses as kinda or directly work related.
If the taxman audits you, no problem - you've got all the reciepts on hand ... I was audited in 1997 and actually discovered I was paying TOO MUCH TAX - the ATD did me a big favour by auditing me !!!
