Do you ever wonder how some people are able to afford the gear that they buy? How do I afford all the gear I buy? Am I rich? Do YOU have to be rich in order to have the same gear as me?
The answer is NO!
Let’s talk about how we can afford such expensive gear… What are your options?
The quickest option, and my most favorite option… is to open up a credit card that offers no interest financing! I currently have a card that has 21 months NO INTEREST!!! This card was a lifesaver for me and I used it on a lot of my purchases!
PayPal also was a option to help me pay for gear as it also offers 12 months no interest financing!
BUT…
You need to be very careful. DO NOT SPEND more than what you can pay back. You have to do some math.
Ask yourself how much you are making a month… then times it by 12… Then subtract all your expenses, like food, gas, rent, etc… What is left over? Will you have enough money to pay back your cards?
I personally hate being in debt, so I pay off my cards very quickly. I like to tell myself, “With great credit, comes great responsibility!”
Luckily, I was always good with numbers so I am able to plan out how to pay for certain things. It is ALWAYS a good idea to make a chart or table of your expenses and see where you are at with cash flow.
If you are going to be running your own business, you have to have some accounting skills, so START NOW!
If there is certain gear that you want and you currently can’t afford it, find a suitable credit card and BUY IT! Just make sure you can pay the card back in time so you don’t ruin your credit.
The truth is, is that anyone can afford great gear, but you have to plan accordingly.
Feel free to reply to this email with any questions. I would love to help you out on finding the best gear for you!
Have fun filming and I will talk to you soon!
