It’s always nice to have new gear.
It may help to do things better, faster or easier.
But most of the time that gear isn’t needed.
Especially when it comes at a cost that isn’t within your budget.
There is always another way to achieve a similar outcome without needing to have the latest and greatest.
Rent the gear, borrow the gear, get a cheaper alternative, or just find a way to use what you already have.
Instead of convincing yourself that you can only to the job with new gear, be resourceful with what you already have.
