As far as funding goes, I married a girl from a "wealthy" family and I am slowing spending her wealth without her knowledge....

The important question is: does she have an equally financial sister who is lonely and single? ?
(or at least not happily married)

I'm a photographer/retoucher in the advertising and fashion industry. I work out of a Studio in Brisbane.
I'm also married with no kids. My method of gaining funds is either to sell off old camera gear (this is how I bought my Dob) or enchourage the wife to spend money on somthing for herself, then I get to spend the same amount on astornomy gear as its "only fair". This seems to work well if the money is there to begin with, but not so well when we are feeling poor (which is more often than not).

Aw crikey - someone else who obviously had to sit through a viewing of "The Secret"......
What trash.....  I wonder if producing that tripe was Ken's "secret" mission while he was out this way?
Doug - do you find that all your bills are automagically paid and a new telescope accessory lands on your doorstep every Friday morning out of nowhere too?

International Man Of Mystery!!
That sounds a lot better than saying I'm retired.
Chris, remember I know where you live!!!
I could tell Jenny, I wonder how much that's worth?

I thought I was marrying into a wealthy family. I first met my wife in a loud bar and mis-heard her say she was a Pathologist - love at first sight. Sometime later I found she had actually said she was a student Anthropologist - oh well, money isn't everything.
After seeing some serious devaluation of my LX90(purchased new) I've learned to buy decent gear at used prices. If I need to resell there's usually not much of a loss involved.

That's a bummer ballaratdragons. I think if I found myself unemployed these days I'd jump on the bike and head out to one of those booming mining centres, go to the local on friday night and start buying drinks for the foremen. Even a TA job there will net 50K+ a year and there is nothing to spend it on except booze and telescopes. I don't drink either
Nice dark skies out at those places.
