Needs vs. Wants

I would always have this conversation with my Dad.  This is how it goes:

Cassie:  Dad I really need these shoes!
Dad:  Cassie, do you really NEED new shoes?
Cassie:  Yes, everyone has them and they are so cute!!
Dad:  Cassie that is a WANT not a NEED so you better start working.  I saw McDonalds was hiring. (He is laughing on the inside I know it!)
Cassie:  Thanks DAD!!  *Eye Roll*

Well I recently ran into a Need vs. Want situation.

A very nice camera was on Clearance at Target.  Our current camera is about 5 years old.  The camera is in perfect condition, takes great pictures and does not have a scratch on it.  So basically nothing is wrong with it.  But this awesome camera....is on Clearance (as I said before), is better Megapixels, has an HD video camera, looks awesome and takes great pictures.

I begin to ponder...What Would My Father Do?

I believe the answer starts with:
   Cassie do you Need that?

No......

But guess what?!?!  I GOT IT!!!

I know, you thought I would follow my fathers wisdom but yet again I REALLY wanted it!  And it is such a good deal!!!

We needed a video camera for the baby.  Really, it is about the Baby's needs now.  And this was a need for her to remember her childhood. (I know, I know, it really doesn't make sense).

Here is the awesomeness!!
