Yanno, I'm really ticked at the economy. Sure, I have a good job and a paycheck, but I'm finding that saving a few more of my shekels is a grand idea.
"Cash is King!" or so shouts all of the financial hacks who think they know better. Those same ones who told us all to invest in real estate.
Bah!
The problem with this financial austerity is that there are still lovely things in the retail world that entice me. Sing to me. Make me want to break out my paid off credit card and charge, baby, charge!
The latest little gem that's got my eye is this:

This is Polaroid's latest entre into the world of photography.
It's called a PoGo and is a digital camera. But it also has built in an inkless photo printer so you can instantly print photos of your choosing, when you want.
Now...this baby is only 5.0 megapixels, so it's not wowing the photographic world.
But I love me a Polaroid camera. And by love, I mean LOVE. I had one as a kid. I own several now.
I was a *fool* for Polaroid's I-zone that made these teeny sticky photos. I carried that thing everywhere.
I have tiny photos ALL over my journals from around the early 2000's.
Don't get me wrong, I love my high end camera and the gloriousness of the photos I can take. The depth of detail is amazing.
That said, I want the PoGo bad, because it's FUN and *boop*, there's a photo print.
Want!
Here's the ouchie part.
It's not available until March and I think will have a price point of $200.
I feel like two hundy is a little high for a Polaroid, but maybe if I'm very good and save my pennies, by this summer I can be shooting and printing and generally giggling over my new Polaroid cam.
My folks taught me that if you want a big ticket item, you gotta work a little for it.
So ok. Back to work. I get paid this week. After rent, end of month bills and credit card payments, there won't be much left. But maybe I can put away a few.
Damn, I'm so fiscally conservative it makes my teeth hurt.
When really, I just want to be like Animal from The Muppet Show.
"CAM-ER-A!!! CAM-ER-A!!!! ME WANT!!!"
