I only buy if I need it and I can justify it, and afford it!

LOL, I have lots of new stuff since I don't buy used, so that one doesn't apply.

I add tax write offs every year, so that's not a problem.

Sometimes the upgrade is a turkey as far as the crew is concerned.

I spent $6500 earlier this year on a wb preseeder landscape tiller model 365 and it really saves time and increases customer base. www.preseeder.com
A colleugue in the business thought I was nuts and he showed me his $300 rake rake that is manually pulled. Not my idea of working smarter and not harder.
