Money for Gas Thread

[techbp]

Going back to my college years and still a vocalist playing no guitar or any instruments, ang GAS ko nun were microphones, mic stands and recording equipments. I never asked my parents or anybody to feed my GAS. Since Computer Science / Information Technology student ako marami akong nagiging sidelines like web designs / development, programming projects of fellow students and even "baby thesis".  Nakabili ako ng Samson condenser mic with boom stand, meron din ako few SM51 Shure mics.

Ngayong vox + guitars na ko at may pamilya na and a good paying job; hindi ko parin kinukuha sa sahod ko yung pang GAS ko, sahod = pamilya, SIDELINE = GAS.


Now I have an Ibaņez SZ520, several boss stomp boxes, just a practice Marshall amp, acoustic electric guitar, cables etc...


.. and yes, just buy what is essential to your music genre and sell those not so important gears.

May part-time job ako tutoring Seriously, though, it's easy to rationalize when you are under GAS attack. Isipin mo na lang na hindi mo pa na-eexhaust ang full potential ng gears mo. Laging may bago kang matutuklasan. With that in mind, mas matagal kang magsasawa sa kung anong meron ka. Pede mo rin subukan ang one-in-one-out policy. Basically, when you buy something, another must go. Or pedeng ibenta mo muna ang isa tapos kunin mo ung hangarin ng GAS mo.   Isipin mo na lang ganito: bumili ka ng gear worth 10k, pag pinakawalan mo sya let's say mabebenta mo ng 8k. Lumalabas na 2k lang ginastos mo para sa gear na yun. At bukod dun, may pandagdag ka na sa pambili at hindi ka pa masyadong magguilty.
