EOS Bodies / Re: EOS-1D X & EOS 5D Mark III Replacements in 2015 [CR1]« on: June 25, 2014, 04:44:23 AM »
You think it might just be an economies of scale issue. Maybe the 7DII will have a sensor built on a new smaller say 50nm production line and to get the most out of the new line Canon needs to produce all it's new sensors on that line and retire the old 500nm line(s). This would make economic sense no? The "new revolutionary" sensor in the 7DII I think will point out where ALL EOS cameras are going.
Canon used the 7D as a development mule for camera ergonomics and User Interface updates, which is why the camera's handling is still so fresh. Nearly all of it's design changes went into the 5DIII and 1DX. So much so many people called the 5DIII a full frame 7D than a 5DII replacement (which is what the 6D eventually became). The AF redesign paved the way for the 61 point array and control and apart from the sensor, there is still a lot to like about the 7D. So it makes sense for Canon to use the 7DII as a development tool to updaqte the sensor technology and design. As long as the 7DII breaks even in the market place then the develeopment and lessons learnt from this model are effectively free to Canon, who can then incorporate it's features into the next gen of camera models...ie 5D4, 6DII, 1DXII ect. If the sensor is fantastic, then it's hype will generate a natural desire for full frame variants...and the next gen camera models will pretty much sell themselves with little marketing. In my view, that's the wise application of innovation which leads to market dominance.
If I rememebr the 40D introduced Live view to Canon, which was later incorporated into the 1DsIII and 5DII models. For landscape work, it was a game changer...somehitng which Nikon have never fully engaged with.

Well after picking up a bit too many hobbies, its time to consolidate some of it. I am located in Berkeley, California and can bring any of the items I have listed up to my location. I can also meet in San Jose near SJSU campus (where I work) and Modesto, California, where most of the items are currently stored. Some items may not have pictures as I've packed many things away, but I can take some shots if seriously interested.
adding this item at the top*
Rubies Vader Supreme Helmet and extras - $85 shipped Good condition helmet with some extras from the rubies supreme costume I'm clearing out. This comes with a used vader supreme helmet in good condition, no cracks or breakage, cod, belt, one belt box shown in photos, and a pair of gloves. Great for refurbishing or starting off a vader. It also comes with the breather speaker thing that came with the costume, you press a button and it does the vader heavy breathing. The helmet is in good condition but the rest of the pieces have cracked/worn surfaces.
BradleyFett X-wing pilot helmet Blast Shield ver. helmet kit with deluck design decals $100 shipped - This is the blast shield helmet kit from BF and a decal kit from deluck here on the forum. Kit is unstarted and in great condition and will come with everything you need to build the screen pattern helmet or the action figure pattern helmet. It will also come with a damaged (cracks) x-wing pilot helmet visor in case you want to go for that battle damaged type look.
Rubies Pod Racer Helmet - $45 shipped Great condition helmet, purchased new in box and just had it on display.
Rubies Vader Supreme Helmet w/box - $75 shipped This is a better condition helmet then the one listed above. Helmet was used once for halloween and promptly placed back in its box. Comes with a fairly basic vader costume from rubies (the one with the chest box printed on and cape attached etc) a pair of gloves and the electronic vader breathing device. Pics to come but in good condition.
TZA Clone Commando helmet $160 shipped. Purchased this directly from Talon on the clone trooper forum. This is for the RC Commando helmet that comes with the greeblies to complete it. Does not come with the blue el wire for the upper visor or the visor itself. New and unstarted
Vader MOM ROTJ Lightsaber "kit." This was traded from another member on the board and was going to be stripped and used with a "fresher" graflex shell like the one I have listed below. It was completely built but the shell was a tad bit rough and would need to be sanded or smoothed out, or just a newer shell used. It was epoxied together and held very tightly as you can see in the pictures. I've since then, painstakingly stripped the parts of the epoxy and removed some of the paint. It is a mix of metal and resin parts.
As you can tell, it also removed some of the paint on items like the control box. The shroud cover, control box are resin. The hex bolts, d ring and d ring holder, the little d ring mount on the shroud area, and the clamp portion, the door/shelf hinge thing, as well as the center rod emitter portion are all metal. The graflex is a replica, not sure who it was from but it was fairly rough. Put all together it looked pretty good, but stripped, you can tell its rough, although I believe, cleanable with some metal work.
It also comes with what I believe is a replica graflex guts upper portion where the rod and disc for the emitter seems to go. Comes with the grips as well. The metal disc/rod thing that comes out above the drawer latch is also metal.
It was all held together inside through a pvc tube that u can see. I had the intentions of using my replica gralfex 2 piece shell and installing these parts on it, but just needed to move onto other things. The metal door hinge/drawer latch part, I think, is one of the best things about this kit as its metal and not rounded like many others. Includes the screw that fits it just perfectly too. $150 shipped within the USA. $200 shipped together with the 2 part graflex replica shell I have listed below within the USA.
Salamanderking's Rangefinder circuits. Great for Fett helmets or a custom clone build. This is version 2 with the long wires to work with a 9v battery. Here's a video of the same type in action, although mine is the version with longer wires:
Boba Fett RF Light2 - YouTube
Tilt sensitive to activate the lights when your RF stalk moves up and down. Up has it off, down has the lights flashing. $45shipped within the USA.
Modeleer's Holoprojector - essentially new from when I received it, it's still been sitting in its original bubble mailer since I bought it. Comes with a Emporer palpatine "Holo" figure to display on top as well. $60 shipped/$50 shipped without the figure
Modeleer's A-99 Aqua Breather - Same condition as the holoprojector, $65 shipped

The 411: Bumble and Bumble's Zoe Wiepert
We are firm believers that to be a truly incredible colorist you have to be a bit mad. The great ones—our favorites ones—always are. And Bumble and Bumble's lead university educator and all-around color wiz, Zoe Wiepert qualifies. Her Marilyn Monroe-swiped mantra? "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." Since swapping out her original childhood dreams of making it big on Broadway for the high-paced worth of hair, the Buffalo, N.Y.-born colorist has mastered blondes, brunettes, and everything in between and has spent the last six years dreaming up ideas for Bumble as part of their Creative Collective. Her work has been featured in a slew of magazines, backstage at shows like Thakoon and Phillip Lim—and she's picked up plenty of fans who swear by her precise painting abilities in the process. Here, the sprightly blonde shares some of her own local beauty favorites.—Fiorella Valdesolo
The Favorite Finger-Painting Haunt: Dolce
"I'm not going to lie; I get a mani/pedi ever single week. I'm a colorist, which means I always need change! I like going to Dolce on the Upper East Side and I bring my own polish every time. I mix my colors myself at home."
1595 Third Ave., NYC, (212) 426-7022; www.dolcenyc.com
The Long Lashes Location: Bling Lash
"Eyelash extensions are my weakness; I need to get them done. I've been to most every place in the city, but I always go back to Bling because they are the quickest, the least expensive, and the most consistent."
108 W. 14th St., Suite 201, NYC, (212) 675-2220; www.blinglash.com
The Daily Ritual: Organic Avenue
"No doubt! My close friend Bea at Bumble turned me onto it and I now can't go a day without it. I have my coconut milk and green juice daily. I personally prefer to follow an organic and clean diet."
See www.organicavenue.com for locations.
The Haute Hang Out: The Norwood
"It's a great spot to be around creative, fun, talented New Yorkers. And they make a great drink."
241 W. 14th St., NYC; norwoodclub.com.
The Quick Jaunt: Boston
"When I want to get out of New York I go to the Liberty Hotel in Boston. It's one of the coolest hotels I've ever been to. It's in an old jail and has great food and people."
215 Charles St., Boston, (617) 224-4000; www.libertyhotel.com.
The Hair Routine: In-House Heroes
"I only do my hair once every four months; I like the beachy look! Plus I'm so complex with my formulations when I work, I need to keep me simple. Bumble Color Minded is the best product line for color-treated hair. It adds moisture, preserves color, and keeps all tones true while protecting from UVA, UVB, and styling tools. Then Bb Tonic—because I'm blond, I need the Tea Tree Oil for Moisture—Bb Quenching Complex on my ends to ensure the cuticle is sealed and stays smooth; its Surf Spray at my roots and Color Minded Styling Balm on my ends to add moisture."
Available at www.bumbleandbumble.com.
The Fit Forum: Yoga Works
"The location on 86th Street is my spot. It's so good. I either go there or to Soul Cycle, which is kind of killing me right now."
See www.yogaworks.com for locations.
The Skincare Triple Threat: Personal Favorites
"I can't live without my Estée Lauder Night Repair, plus my pure almond oil and cleansing with a Clarisonic brush."
Available at www.esteelauder.com; available at www.clarisonic.com.
The Signature Scent: Tom Ford
"I either go au naturel or Tom Ford Bois Marocain."
Available at www.neimanmarcus.com.
The Makeup Must-Haves: Prestige Picks
"I like Bobbi Brown foundation in a light bisque and Pot Rouge in Coral, MAC powder and lipstick in Pink Nouveau, and Estée Lauder's Smoothing Cream Concealer, which absolutely does not crease and gives the perfect amount of coverage without being cakey."
Available at www.bobbibrown.com; available at www.maccosmetics.com; available at www.esteelauder.com.
The Day Spa: Spa Castle
"If you haven't been there yet, do it, it's life changing. That's all I can say."
131-10 11th Ave., College Point, N.Y., (718) 939-6300; www.spacastleusa.com
The Secret Weapon: Dr. Bill Kestin
"[An opthamolic microsurgeon], he is a wizard for the eyes and skin. I go to him for Botox. He does very subtle work, so you still look like you. I take my mom there, too! Look him up; I promise you he is so worth it!"

During peak commuting times, some 300 bicyclists per hour travel down Somerville's Beacon Street, making it Greater Boston's busiest cycling corridor. It is also considered one of the state's most dangerous, with 154 accidents in the Inman Square area between 2002 and 2010, according to a state Department of Transportation report.
The street is riddled with potholes, and in certain areas cyclists are exposed to the danger of being "doored": struck by the opening door of a parked vehicle. But despite the dangers, it has become increasingly popular as a direct route from Porter Square to Kendall Square.

I really like this crib--the profile is lower than some, so it's easy to pick the baby up from in it. The lines are clean, but the alternating widths of the rails keeps the design interesting. As far as design, it was relatively easy to assemble, and is very sturdy.

The Bismarck Lions almost started off the Herb Russell Tournament with a big upset over Fordyce on Friday before eventually falling by the score of 55-41.
The Lions trailed by just two (13-11) at the end of the first quarter and were still very much in the game at the half, trailing 20-17.
The two teams played to a 13-13 stalemate in the third quarter, but the Red Bugs outscored Bismarck 22-11 in the final quarter to pull away.
The Glen Rose Beavers had a rough start to the Herb Russell Tournament at Ouachita High School last week.
In their first game, against Cutter Morning Star, the Beavers were on the wrong side of a 59-32 decision.
Glen Rose trailed 17-8 after one quarter, but held the Eagles to just three points in the second quarter to cut the deficit to just 20-17.
The lead grew to eight points at the end of the third quarter and the Beavers were held to just three points in the final quarter to set up the final margin.
For the full story, see Friday's (January 3) Malvern Daily Record.
I don't know what it is about this year's Arkansas Razorbacks' basketball team, but I just have a really good time watching them on the court.
Maybe I was merely needing something entertaining after that abysmal football season, or perhaps it has been so long since the basketball team has given the fans something to cheer about that anything that approaches being good becomes a joy to watch.
For the full column, see Friday's (December 20) Malvern Daily Record.
Tomorrow evening at 6:30 p.m., the Glen Rose Beavers (12-1) will travel to Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium to take on the Charleston Tigers (14-0) for the Class 3A state championship.
This has been a long season for the Beavers and today we are going to look at Glen Rose's road to the state championship.
The Beavers ended the 2012 season with a heart-breaking loss to Harding Academy in the state championship game and entered the 2013 season with mixed reviews.
On Monday night, Bismarck High School hosted Glen Rose high school in three games, with the home teams winning each game.
The first game of the night was between the junior boys teams with the Junior Lions holding on for a 38-36 win.
Bismarck jumped out to an early 14-2 lead, which they grew to a 24-8 lead at the half.
The Junior Beavers fought back by outscoring Bismarck 15-5 in the third quarter, but their rally fell just short in the fourth.
Jayden Howell led the Junior Lions with 13 points.
More and more it seems that college football gets divided up into different seasons throughout the year.
You have the recruiting season, the spring season, the offseason, the nonconference season, the conference season and the bowl season.
One aspect that people always seem to leave out is the coaching search season, which always seems to happen right before the bowls get good and going.
For the full column, see Wednesday's (Dec. 18) Malvern Daily Record.
The Glen Rose Beavers' game against the Smackover Buckaroos in the semfinal round of the Class 3A playoffs was played in what many would call ideal football weather.
The temperature was low and there was constant precipitation throughout the game.
But as it was said by many Glen Rose fans, "Beavers love water."
The Beavers (13-1), despite playing away from home (at Sykes Stadium on the campus of Benton Harmony Grove High School) for the second straight game, proved that to be the case as they dominated the Buckaroos (12-2) by the score of 54-24 on Friday night.
Over the summer, the Malvern Little League sent a team to the regionals of the Little League World Series in Waco, Texas.
The Malvern All-Stars had a good showing in the event, finishing second, and were even featured on ESPN2.
In addition to having a chance to see some of the best teams in the country, the Malvern Little League players and fans got to play on championship-caliber fields, which is something they couldn't say before the trip.
Looking over the list of bowls this season, I just have to shake my head at the vast majority of them.
There was a time when the names of the bowl games made sense.
The Peach Bowl was held in Atlanta, because the state was known for the fruit. The winning team got a trophy that looked like a bowl full of peaches. Imagine that.
Then the sponsorships came in and the Peach Bowl shared its name with its corporate partner before that partner decided the game should be named after the company and the company only.
The Glen Rose Beavers defeated the Smackover Buckaroos 54-24 in the semifinal round of the Class 3A playoffs Friday night. With the win, the Beavers advance to the Class 3A state championship game against Charleston, which will be held at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock next Saturday at 6:30 p.m.
For a full recap of the game, along with pictures, see the Tuesday (December 17) edition of the Malvern Daily Record.

New opportunities exist overseas for company partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, sales, outsourcing, and other relationships, and trained individuals must determine which prospects make the most sense for their organization.
…as well as potential risks
On the flip side, anti-U.S. attitudes and political and social trends in Europe, Russia, Asia, China, India and the Middle East will affect a company's future. They will need someone to recognize these threats and help strategize to overcome them.
Distinguish yourself as an International Business expert
Those who succeed in an international business career will be able to monitor and manage differences in:
- Legal and political systems
- Accounting and labor standards
- Economic policies
- Environmental controls
- Local and corporate culture
- Personal interaction and communication practices
- Religious beliefs and how they affect business
- Import and export regulations
- Trade agreements
International Business - A career that can really take you places
Successful International Business leaders must understand and respect other cultures and their regulations. They must enjoy traveling and have in-depth knowledge of other countries. It is also helpful to speak at least one foreign language.
A career in international business could be right for you, if you:
- Enjoy learning about and working in different cultures
- Are adept at keeping current with changing regulations
- Have solid communication and people management skills
- Can relate statistical research to practical applications
- Work well in a structured atmosphere
- Enjoy working with people from different cultures

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) -- The IOC is working with Syrian athletes to help them qualify for the Olympics, hopeful they will make it to the London Games in spite of the violence shaking the country.
Pere Miro, the IOC's director of relations with national Olympic committees, says the international body is providing funding to athletes in Syria and believes four or five could qualify from track and field and swimming.
Miro says "we want to try to make sure that the Syrian athletes will be in London."
The U.N. estimates that more than 7,500 people have been killed in the past 12 months since the uprising began against President Bashar Assad's regime.

Style by MITCH by Paul Mitchell
Men want to look well-groomed this season! They appreciate—and, let's face it, they need—advice from a pro.
|"Guys listen to their
stylist. They know you're
the one paying attention
to fashion and style."
—Craig Hanson,
Creative Director, American Crew
Stylists, put your hands together—with gel, pomade and paste. You're going to be using a lot of that this holiday season as men clean up for parties and office events. Hair is long, short and everything in between, but it's neat.
"A low, deep side part will look modern and polished," says Sam Burns, spokesman for MITCH by Paul Mitchell and a JPMS international trainer and business development coach. "When men are dressed up, their hair should be closer to the head. Let it dry naturally without a lot of volume. Apply our Steady Grip for a look that's tighter and more compact, but controlled."
The look not just for holiday but continuing through 2014 is "dapper," according to Craig Hanson, creative director at American Crew.
click image to zoom "It's the Frank Sinatra thing reinvented by today's stars like Ryan Gosling and David Beckham," Hanson says. "There's attention to grooming, but the look is still masculine, rugged."
Show men with longer hair how to craft a "man bun" or pull back a loose, but structured, ponytail.
"I'm seeing the bun at the nape on the red carpet," Hanson reports. "When the stylist presents a celebrity look with enthusiasm and confidence, the guy really listens. He knows that you're the one paying attention to fashion and style."
If the hair isn't long enough to pull back, Hanson recommends getting it off the face. "Comb product through the hair, and then take your fingers at the scalp and break it up to give a little bit of lift," he says. "Use tons of gel for a crunchy look if the guy doesn't want his hair to move when the wind blows, or use pomade if the client wants a more casual feel."
Make sure your men have tools they need.
"For today's styles, every man should have a round brush and a comb," says Burns. "The comb keeps the hair flatter and more defined; the round brush delivers that modern-day pompadour."
Hanson adds one more. "The boar bristle brush is a guy's best friend," he says. "It's what men used in the '50s to get the hair perfectly smooth while still having a wave or direction."

In 2009 a picture of an ECU fan surrounded by unenthused UNC students went viral after being featured as a Sports Illustrated 'Superfan'
Every year when the Pirates and Tar Heels face off, the picture starts making it's way around the web. Most recently it has been transformed into a viral meme say "I may be a red headed step child - but at least I'm not a tarhole"
9 On Your Side caught up with Alex Denning the Pirate 'Superfan' for a Q&A:
9OYS: How did the photo happen? When was it taken and why were you surrounded by Tar Heel fans?
AD: This picture was taken at a UNC-ECU game held in Chapel Hill back in 2009. A friend of mine, who went to UNC, invited me and a couple of other ECU friends to the game. He had a couple of extra tickets, but he warned us that they were in the Tar Heel student section. So the people surrounding me in the picture were UNC students, and they were not pleased to have a guy like me around them. In fact, I entered the game in disguise (don't worry, I wore a plain gray shirt and black pants; nothing blue).
Sometime in the third quarter, my friend George, whose ear can be seen in the photo, noticed there was a photographer taking pictures of people in the crowd, and his camera was pointed right at me. I just did a little nod and pointed at the guy. The photographer waved at me, and I waved back. I thought he was taking pictures for a blog or newspaper. I really didn't think much of it. Now, I would love to get in contact with that guy, and thank him for making my most iconic college moment possible.
9OYS: Tell us a little about yourself. How long have you been a pirate fan?
AD: Oh man, I didn't stand a chance growing up with my parents. They met in downtown Greenville in my mom's freshman year, when my dad was working on his second degree. My parents love ECU, and have supported their school for years. I almost didn't go to ECU, but they convinced me to go on a tour. I loved the campus the moment I walked on the mall, and I've been hooked on ECU since. I graduated in 2012 with a double major degree in sociology and English, and I hope to return to ECU to pursue a masters degree in creative writing.
9OYS: There are a lot of pictures of you floating out there. How do you feel about being called a red headed step child?
AD: First of all, let me say that I'm honored to be a meme, and I couldn't be happier that this picture has become such a big deal. However, I've never been a fan of being called a red headed step child. First, I can confirm that I am not a step child, so that's inaccurate. Second, I know there are funnier, more creative Pirate fans who can think of something better than insulting one of their own. C'mon, y'all, I'm on your side! Finally, I sure am glad I'm not a Tar (Heel).
9OYS: After the photo first came out, did you get recognized?
AD: The hoopla first began the Tuesday after the game. I had several friends who sent me a link to Sports Illustrated, and I was right there in the College Super Fan section. From there, the picture went viral, and the rest is history. Since the attire I seen in the photo was the same thing I wore to most home games, people would yell out "Super Fan" at me. After I graduated, I decided to retire the glasses, vest and bandana. So I don't really get recognized that much nowadays, but I don't mind at all.
9OYS: What are you doing now and what are your future plans?
AD:I'm living in Wilmington right now, but I'm hoping to come back to ECU in order to pursue a masters in creative writing. My dream job involves getting paid to write about stories, people and things I find interesting.
9OYS: What's your prediction for the game?
AD: It'll be a close game. If Shane can get going, and if our defense can be productive, ECU should have a solid shot at winning. UNC is in a bit of a rebuilding year, so while a win over them would be awesome, I also predict UNC fans will probably undermine the victory if ECU prevails. I'm calling my Pirates in a close one: 28-24. Go Pirates!

Peer Pressure and Money: Do You Spend Differently with Friends?
Published on - August 11th, 2009 (by J.D. Roth)
This is a guest post from Neal Frankle, a Certified Financial Planner and the blogger at The Wealth Pilgrim. Neal is a potential Staff Writer for Get Rich Slowly. His first post explored the benefits of starting a side business. For background on Neal's personal story, check out his recent article about how he went from homeless to homeowner.
Have you ever sat down at a restaurant, reviewed the menu, wanted to leave but stayed anyway? Did you stay because you didn't want anybody to think you were a cheap tight-wad?
Did you ever go shopping with a friend and bought clothes that were too expensive? Did you do this because you didn't want your friends to think less of you?
Did you buy the wrong car because you felt pressure to make an impression on the friend who went shopping with you?
Do you avoid going shopping or dining with other people specifically because you hate being in these situations?
If so you aren't alone. I struggle with these problems too.
Several years ago I went clothes shopping with some buddies and found myself in that situation exactly. I wanted to upgrade my wardrobe, and since these guys were pretty smart dressers, I asked them to take me out for a shopping man-date.
They are great guys so of course they were only too happy to help me out. They took me to all the stores that they shop at and we found some really neat items. I tried the suits on. I have to admit it…..I liked the way I looked in them. I tried on one particular Zegna suit that was especially snappy. I felt like a million bucks in it. But then when I saw the price tag, I just about had an aneurism.
I was scared and frustrated. I wanted to run for the nearest Ross Dress for Less I could find but when I saw my buddies giving me the thumbs up, I felt trapped. I worked up the best fake smile I could, unleashed my credit card, and took the suit home.
As it turns out, I'm glad I bought the suit and I still love it to this day. But the point is, I was definitely out of my comfort zone. And rather than say anything, I spent money I didn't want to spend because I didn't want my buddies to think less of me.
That suit cost me a lot of money and self-esteem. I felt weak because I didn't have the grit to tell my friends I didn't want to spend that much money. What could I have done differently?
- I could have been honest with my friends when I first asked for their help. I should have communicated what my comfort level was before we went shopping. When I think about the money these guys make and the professions they are in (both are actors) I should have realized that we define "expensive" differently. (Actually, these guys don't really have a definition of expensive). I should have thought about the kind of money they spend on clothes and I should have told them what my limits were.
- I should have been honest with myself. Part of the reason I wanted these guys to take me shopping was to show them what a big spender I was. I didn't realize this at the time, but thinking back, it's very clear to me what my real motives were. Had I spent a few moments to think about it, I would have understood this immediately and possibly done it differently.
Trying to impress somebody is a lie. It's inauthentic and it's dumb. Why should I try so hard to get other people to like a person that isn't really me? It makes no sense.
I believe that if I take these steps in the future, I won't find myself in this kind of awkward and dishonest situation again. But even if I blow it and wind up back in that clothing store (or equivalent thereof), the solution is still the same — honesty.
I think it's better to admit that I made a little mistake quickly than continue to lie and make a bigger one.
I'm a bit of a people pleaser by nature. The process I described above is sometimes difficult for me. I'm getting better at it even though I haven't mastered it yet.
Do you struggle with this issue? Do you spend money differently when you are around certain people? How have you dealt with this?

This article is about Psychology, Relationships, Shopping
I definitely do respond to peer pressure in regards to my spending. I order bigger meals than I really want, and I bought a nicer car than I really needed. My father was one of those uncomfortably cheap dads who picked up things off curbs and gave them to us kids as presents, and so whenever I start to feel that "don't be cheap" vibe, it really pushes me to spend more, even though I'm not in line with my real financial goals and values.
I am pretty open about my finances and what I can and cannot afford so I don't really feel any peer pressure at all. Honesty is really the key. The amount of money you have or make it not something to be proud or ashamed of- it just is what it is.
I understand how to avoid shopping situations like this, but meals at places with prices you don't really feel are worth it are sometimes harder to avoid. Anyone have any tips beyond checking out the menu before agreeing to attend?
I used to fall into this trap all the time back in college. I think you're right, the best approach is simply to try and avoid finding yourself in these situations.
Also of note: you said that "As it turns out, I'm glad I bought the suit and I still love it to this day." I'll bet that if you hadn't bought the suit, you'd also be happy with your decision. One of those quirks of human nature–after making a tough decision, we set about trying to confirm that we did the right thing, no matter which route we took.
Maybe it's the rebel in me, but I've come to a point where I feel a certain sense of liberation in not going along with the herd.
I make it a rule not to shop with friends! As far as eating out, my friends are a lot like me when it comes to money so we dine on the frugal side of town without much thought. A lot of the problems with spending come about when you're over-bought on your social situation.
I have had this problem in the past. My new year's resolution this year was "No in '09″. I decided that I would speak up and say no when invited to do things that I couldn't afford or to buy gifts within my means, etc.
One way that I've succeeded is that when I'm asked to do something like go out to dinner or to an event that I can't really manage, I say no, but offer to do something else that is in my budget. (Ex. I can't make it to the movies and dinner with you all, but I'd love to plan a picnic in the park for next weekend.)
I've actually had friends breath a sigh of relief when I admit that I can't really afford it. It allows them to admit it too. Now a lot of my social time has been replaced with very cost effective, quality time. Our dinners out are now just hours lingering over coffee or a trip to the farmer's market and then home to make lunch together.
It totally depends on which friends I'm with. I have some friends who are frugal, either by nature or by necessity, and so when I'm with them I spend less. It's so relaxed and easy, and we still have a good time, going for walks or bike rides or to the park or a less expensive restaurant or vacation. I had a chance to be friends with someone who spends large sums of money regularly, and I knew I just wouldn't be able to keep up with her so I did not accept invitations to do expensive things with her. It's much easier if you have friends with similar spending habits as you, or friends who have spending habits you would like to have yourself.
I'm ok being honest about what me and my husband can afford. We go to thrift stores and invite people over for dinner or coffee and cake. Most people are very happy with that.
My struggle is being honest and not being heard by two longtime acquaintances of my husbands'. I told them I'm out of work and struggling to pay for rent and food. The wife says 'it's not that much money to fly jetblue and visit us in Florida in the winter'. The husband is equally obtuse and a braggart. I wish they didn't live in our building! LOL
I am going through this right now. I just moved closer to a lot of my friends so I am hanging out with them more, and as a result spending more money. Eating out more, spending more on groceries (for parties and potlucks, etc.) Before, I spent a lot of saturday nights home alone with my dog, which is ok once in a while but really gets lonely. But, my friends want to spend money (and spend time complaining about how little they have) How do you deal with that?
As far as the suit goes, I'm gonna say that one thing I learned from my friends is that sometimes its ok to buy good quality stuff. I used to shop at the standard suburb mall stores and buy stuff cause it was cheap and not because it necessarily fit well or looked good on me. I ended up with a lot more clothes that I didn't wear. Now, I'm much more picky, I shop at better quality stores, and spend more money on single items of clothing so the quantity bought has gone down, but now I have stuff that lasts longer and that fits me right and looks good on me.
The fact remains that you do love the suit. Sometimes I look at my pathetic wardrobe and want to cry. I cannot bring myself to buy myself nice clothing. And it shows. I think that deep down you knew that you would have gone to Ross, and bought something that looks like you bought it at Ross, and you didn't want to do that again.
This is a great post, and something that I struggle with from both sides of the equation. We have friends who have not been as financially successful as we have as well as friends who have seriously ridiculous amounts of money….and it can sometimes be a very tricky situation to manage. As you mention, "expensive" can mean very different things to different people. I hope, however, that I never default to the 'easy out' of only hanging with people who earn a similar amount of money as I see that happening more and more as people get older.
JCos (3)–My wife and I try to make it a policy to eat only in restaurants that offer coupons.
Not only does this save money on the bill, but it seems that most coupon offering establishments are in the low- to mid-price range to start, and are trying to reach out to their cost-conscious patrons and potential patrons.
We haven't seen many coupon offers by high end restaurants.
We pay attention to the circulars that come in the mail, and if we find a restaurant that offers coupons we'll check it out on the web, where they often have a current menu.
I'm with Mike Piper. Once upon a time, I used to do this constantly. It usually involved buying event tickets to charity events. Good causes, yes – but budget busters anyhow. Not that we HAD a budget. So I didn't know that we couldn't afford it …
So yeah, the biggest problem wasn't the $100/here, $75/there – or the $12 martini before or after the event. Or even the $300 dress to wear.
But I did think "I just can't say no to the Good Cause Cocktail Hour because so-and-so is the chair …"
No more! We still donate to charity, but now we usually just write the check that we can afford and stay at home with our Netflix movies and our sale-bought, coupon-applied treats. Not as glamorous, but the better choice.
I never understood what was wrong with being seen as cheap/frugal. To me, money is the means to an end. Money is not what I'm after, the experiences that the money can get is.
I enjoy food and drinking, so I spend a premium on eating good food, whether I go out to eat or I am cooking. My bill is always the highest when I go out with my friends, and when my pantry and full of spices so I can make almost anything. I don't eat to live, I live to eat, so I'm willing to spend more here.
On the other hand, luxuries like a 50 inch plasma TV or the latest consoles and games don't excite me as much. Would I want one if I had a million bucks? Sure, but that's not gonna happen any time soon.
The key is to find your comfort zone. Figure out what you're comfortable with and live the way you want. If you know what you want to splurge on and cut back on things you don't care about, then you don't have to try to be frugal, you just are.
On a side note, splurging like that is nice once in a while. You get to experience things you never would have otherwise, and Trent, you got a suit you really loved. I've gone clothes shopping with a friend and girls before to buy new clothes and they "expanded" my comfort zone. They opened my eyes to things I never would have looked/chosen/combined on my own. Yeah it cost me more, but I enjoyed the experience hanging out with friends, and the next time I went to Ross, I found new items I liked that I probably would have ignored before.
There comes a point when you have to go against the flow or it will swallow you up. If you don't have the money, don't create debt which you may or may not be able to repay depending one whether or not you job will go south in this economy. If it out of your paygrade stay away from it. Chances are someone else in your group is in the same position.
Go have a beer instead.
No doubt that the company we keep has a big impact on our financial lives, but all aspects as well.
I find myself spending money to go out to eat when I hang out with my friends. I hate going out to eat, but enjoy conversing with everyone. Last week, I started a new habit of cooking at home instead, with a budget of less than $50 a week.
I've had some conflict between some people on my decision, especially my girlfriend's mom. She says that I need to take my girlfriend out to eat every week. I told her that I enjoy going out for entertainment, but not to eat. I have even planned most dinners to accommodate my girlfriend, so I'm not excluding her.
Ever since I started becoming more financially smart, my girlfriend's mom seems to expect me to absorb more of the costs my girlfriend incurs. She comfortably throws out the idea of me paying for this or that…
It really peeves me because I am a young adult in a position without any support. I'm stuck paying my own school tuition and medical needs that my parents pushed off from my childhood. I can't afford to support someone else too.
Sorry about the rant, but basically, I'm standing my ground now, and anyone who has a problem with it can complain all they want. I don't care.
Thanks for a great post, as it reminds me of how much time I used to spend shopping with friends as a recreational activity! It makes me glad that in my town (Pahrump, Nevada) there are very few outlets for this except thrift stores and garage sales. When I lived in London and Paris, it was an entirely different ball of wax…no wonder I ended up broke!
This was a good post (clear idea, well-written, etc.). However, I was not able to relate to this guest blogger as much as AJ and Jason. My friends and I are in the "poor grad student" phase of our lives, so convincing one of them to buy anything really expensive would be just plain mean. We just flat-out wouldn't do this to each other.
I try to be conscious not only of other people's wallets as well as their values/priorities. Personally, I'm much less willing to risk my cash on a band I've never heard of than a meal at a new/interesting restaurant — not interested in paying $12 plus drinks to see that show, but I'd be happy to meet you for a meal before or after. :]
When planning a dinner outing I try to send people a link to the restaurant menu ahead of time so guests can take a look and suggest an alternative if that's not going to work for them due to price, diet, etc.
Sometimes I find myself spending a little more than I would on my own when I am with a group of friends. To solve this, I try to plan my days a little more than most people so I don't always end up in a situation where I'm at an expensive restaurant then end up at a movie theater spending $12 to see a movie, after buying some new clothes at the mall of course.
Fortunately for me, most of my friends are pretty broke right now. That doesn't mean they don't spend freely even though they shouldn't, but it's easier to get them to go along with me when I think something is too expensive (like certain restaurants).
Stick to your guns, and if your friends treat you like an outcast because you actually care about your future purchasing power, start spending less time with them.
Most of my friends are bigger spenders than I, though ironically I can more easily afford such expenditure (in part because I don't regularly indulge).
I find that the same negotiation skills that allow me to obtain better deals on my purchases can also be applied to avoiding excess when with friends. Remarking that a restaurant is "overpriced; let's find somewhere more reasonable" often elicits relief from my friends.
That said, when I'm entertaining friends, I do tend to spend a bit more; once my needs are cared for – retirement plan in place, emergency fund… funded – what else is money for but to use for the enjoyment of life? The difference between "frugal" and "cheap" is the saving of money for saving's sake.
I definitely spend more when I'm out with friends and discover their tastes are more expensive than mine. I try to counter this by talking and writing a lot about my efforts at frugality. I've become kind of the "frugal gal" in my crowd, the person people expect to spend less. That means people seek me out for free fun, and I get invited less to the expensive outings.
Mostly this is great for me, and my friends. Quite a few people talk to me about their own money troubles or transformations. On the other hand, giving up frivolous spending is like dropping any other bad habit: I've lost touch with some friends because I no longer do the activities that formed the basis of our time together.
Loved this post! It really gets to the psychology of money too. So often money is used an extension of ourselves and our ego, instead of merely a tool for meaningful living. I know that I am prone to spend more when I am feeling emotional or hormonal (ladies, am I right?).
Posts like these remind me that I am not always a rational being and it's good to reflect on why we spend, and whether we are really getting what we want/need out of the experience.
Spending reveals character, doesn't it? How you regard yourself, others, and your image…
#3 JCos – we go out to eat very rarely, maybe once a month, twice on occasion. We use Restaurant.com. We can get $25 gift certificates for $10, or like this week while they are running a special we can get $25 for $2. The restaurant choice is limited, but there are some good ones in our area. Other limitations – must spend minimum amount, such as $35 to use $25 GC, one GC per party, some will add in gratuity automatically, some limit the days the GC can be used.
Great article! Some of my friends make quite a bit more money than hubby & I, and for a while we tried to keep up with them. Big mistake (part of the reason we are working on paying off debt)! Now we have learned (mostly) how to say no thanks, not this time & our friends will compromise on some occasions (instead of eating out, let's do some grilling, rent a movie, etc).
I'm improving on this front. In college my friends were into sporting events, eating out, big TVs and video games. Me, not so much, but went along often enough to keep me broke.
Since then, I've been consciously choosing my friends based on our ability to spend time together without spending money. A hard bike ride, followed by a good discussion about books, is a lot easier to maintain in the long term than a baseball game and beers. Like Sierra @23, some friends slip by the wayside when you realize your relationship was built on buying stuff instead of spending time.
PS – Trent at the Simple Dollar had a really good post on this a while back – http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2008/10/11/stop-trying-to-impress-other-people/
@ Shane:
Good for you! Don't give in to your gf's mom's pressure.
I can't stand those kind of manipulation games.
I've never felt pressured in any situation to spend money… I just don't do it. Shopping for me isn't spending money, it's spending time (alone or with someone else) browsing stores and either thinking about life or talking about it.
Of course, it helps that most of our friends make about what we do. On the rare occasions that we join other people for dinner or going out somewhere, it's something that's comfortable for all of us because our incomes are close.
Then again, I'm sure we can make some people feel weird… We spend a lot on our cars, and it's rare when something new isn't in the works. Then again, our house is pretty dang empty… It's just a priority that people can see, so we get some interesting reactions. (Mostly negative from people who don't understand it's only a priority, and bemusement from our friends because we spend so much on the cars.)
My friend group has actually gotten more frugal. A number of my friends rush to tell me about the good deals they've gotten because I am the group appointed Coupon Queen. I think it's much easier when you surround yourself with people who will help keep you in check. If you want to be rich, do what rich people do: Save your money. That's the kind of friends I want to have.
A lot of times it's natural to spend more money when with friends. The combine group can convince another that it's acceptable and you can find yourself spending more than you would like.
I totally agree that we need to be up front and not let peer pressure lead us to spend more money than we wanted.
But to me the most interesting part of this article is that you love the suit, wear it to this day, and feel great in it.
Isn't it worth it to get stuff that is exactly what you want, that you will use and cherish and take care of, even if it costs more?
I think that spending more on a quality item is a wise and frugal move, and though you weren't used to it, it ended up being a good expenditure.
I wrote about this from an environmental context on my blog last week. What if everything we bought was exactly what we wanted, beautifully made, and constructed to last? How could that benefit our finances, our quality of life, and the environment?
Less stuff, but markedly BETTER stuff.
One good thing about getting older, you figure some of this out. I know which friends I am comfy telling about my great buy at the consignment store and which ones not to. I also know which friend to avoid dinner out with because it means an expensive restuarant that is "the place to eat" but I am uncomfortable in. Funny during this economy I really see a lot. Some friends, we are sharing savings stories and a few others that would die first before making any cut backs. Even though they are hurting financially and it must be exhausting trying to keep up?
I don't shop as a social activity, so that's not a problem for me. I *do* play a game called "credit card roulette" with my co-workers, which some of you will probably find insane, but it's never really been a problem for us. We all (a group of 4-6, usually) go out to lunch every day (I'm in the office three days a week), usually at a place where the bill will come to about $12/each, plus or minus a couple of bucks. Anytime we eat at a place that brings one check for the entire table (as opposed to everyone paying separately at the counter), we'll play credit card roulette. A credit/debit card is collected from everyone in the party. One person shuffles the cards under the table, and hands the stack of cards off to someone else who deals, one card at a time, last card left in the stack pays for lunch.
In theory, if you do it regularly, the payments should all even out, it is a little bit painful when you go out with 8 people and end up losing for $100, though.
Most of the people I know aren't bigger spenders than I am, though, so in general, I don't have a problem with this.
Before going out with friends, I try to get an idea of what they have in mind before we go. I like to check out the restaurant online to get and idea of the price points before hand so that don't I get sticker shock. Most friends are not very spend happy by nature (regardless of their financial situation) anyway.
There was this one time where another couple invited us to spend the weekend with them up in Napa. They chose a hotel that was about $350/night and we politely told them this was beyond what we wanted to spend. They were more than happy to accommodate us with choosing a less expensive place. If they are your friends, they will accommodate.
I have to thank my mother for not having to struggle with this issue at all. She always hammered it home to us that we had two choices, swim downstream with all the other fish and become weak and ineffective or swim upstream against the current and become much stronger! That and the usual, "if they jumped off a bridge would you do that too…" comments (LOL) drilled it in my head that a successful person was someone that had personal confidence and was true to themselves regardless of what the rest of the "stream" was doing.
Neal – I took a moment to read your "homeless to homeowner" article. Another nicely written article. I'm actually surprised that someone who had to face so much adversity early on that spending peer pressure was an issue for you. You seem like someone who must have great internal fortitude and discipline to accomplish what you did when you were so young. Thanks for your sharing and talking about how you overcame these issues!
I definitely do some things socially that I wouldn't do on my own, the way some people drink only socially. I see movies out, eat at sit-down restaurants, and go to malls only socially.
On the other hand, many of my current favorite things to do are things I tried only because my friends wanted me to. So it works both ways. Ideally you can find friends who provide the sort of peer pressure that actually makes your life better.
I like your strategy of describing to your friends better what it is you're looking for. And it can be difficult in that moment when you're getting surprised by what they think you want to say, "Actually, I was looking for something more …"
When it's your friend's idea rather than yours, sometimes you can accompany them without spending much yourself (just get a soup or salad or coffee at the restaurant, don't get any snacks at the movie theater, don't actually buy anything at the mall even though you still try things on and joke about the poor fit).
One more hint: it may help to tell your friends (and remind yourself) what your priorities are. "Wow, this suit makes me feel like a million bucks! But, yikes, I don't actually have a million bucks! I'm afraid buying this would set me back two months in my question to get out of debt."
We had a problem once, meeting for dinner for a friend's b-day. The restaurant chosen was waaaay out of our range but we didn't realize it until we got there. The friend was a dear one we don't see often, so we sucked it up; the restaurant was chosen by his clueless wife. It was painful and we were very careful about eating out with that crowd for a while.
These days most of our friends are cost-conscious and most fun is had at someone's house. When we do go out, the worst offender is my husband; he has champagne tastes and can't bear sticking to his beer budget. It doesn't happen often though so we can deal, esp. since I am a cheap date and can counteract him pretty effectively.
My mother in law says that there is a difference between shopping and buying, and on this I agreee. We can go shopping as a group, but I usually won't buy until I'm on my own. And there is always a return policy.
I almost feel more pressured to have great meals for people here at home! I love to make new things, my family doesn't love everything. It is nice to have company over to share it with!
@Shane #17, hold your ground! And watch out – manipulators can take the low road like you would never imagine. Use condoms RELIGIOUSLY with a girl from a family like that. It appears you have ambition and they want to hitch themselves to your wagon.
To the commenter who has friends who insist on going out … when you're young, it can seem like going out is the only way to have fun. But a lot of fun can be had doing things at home; for example, set up a home cooking project where you all can learn to prepare a dish for a dinner party (include some guy friends!), or find a craft you all enjoy and schedule a play date. You get to have the conversation without the $5 beers or $7 martinis.
Re: dining out: you can usually have an appetizer and soup, salad, or side dish for less than the cost of an entree, and it will be plenty of food. Don't order alcohol, the markup is outrageous. And the desserts are usually all from one maker, you see the same ones all over. If a "nice" restaurant is suggested, go and enjoy the experience, just make sure your friends know this is a special treat for you and not something you can do all the time.
With friends, I don't really feel pressure to spend more than I can afford. Though I do sometimes go places that I wouldn't pick. Being a good friend means sometimes being flexible. I'm lucky that my friends are just as happy to find something to do that saves them some money.
But my sisters are another story. This year we've had several fights about money. They wanted me to give them a large sum of money for a joint present for my parent's anniversary. I love my parents, but I just couldn't afford it. Mine and my husband's pay has been cut. And I was on expensive drugs at the time.
When I told one of my sisters this and asked if we could look at alternatives, I got hell. But I've put my foot down and decided that it is more important that I feel safe and secure financially.
Friends you can ditch if they become a pain, but being the family cheapskate is forever. I know I'll be hearing about this for a LONG, LONG, LOOONG time. But, I can handle that.
I'm with you – as I'm sure everyone else is. Your sister is off base. Just because she doesn't see it doesn't mean it isn't true.
Good for you for sticking to your guns. Bravo!
I understand Gee- it is the family in our lives who I feel more pressure from than friends. Maybe because I'm at a point now of feeling comfortable with myself and my decisions and if I start to feel that friend peer pressure I try to reflect
a- the person is usually NOT peer pressuring on purpose- they just have different priorities
b- how I react to the situation is my choice, and if that means not hanging with that friend again then so be it.
However, with family it is much more difficult. A few weeks ago I was given a gift certificate for a spa. I knew I wouldn't use it because the value was only $25 and looking online there was nothing at this place under $50. It was a gift I knew would just go unused because I wasn't interested in paying the extra $25 for an unplanned and unnecessary experience. Turns out my SIL was going to this spa a couple weeks later and asked if I would babysit my niece for a few hours. I asked if she'd be willing to buy the gift certificate off me since she would be spending the $25 anyhow. She agreed, but didn't neglect to tell me that I have become "so cheap". To me it wasn't just about cheapness as much as it felt like not wasting. When she made that comment I told her she could just have it because I just thought it was dumb to let the thing go to waste. Then she tried to convince me to just stop being so cheap and go myself!
The thing is, the more and more that we face these experiences and stick to our guns, the easier it is to not actually feel the pressure as much.
@JCOS My group of friends are all in the same boat and we have just moved to going to each other's houses and doing stuff. In the winter it was Friday night poker with the host covering a dinner for all but it was usually cheap dish that fed a small army. For the summer, we have moved to Saturday afternoon horseshoes that leads into an evening around a firepit and food from the grill.
Good job for putting your foot down! Also, I think your parents would be happier knowing your family was financially secure versus receiving a present, especially since y'all took a pay cut. And if you have kids, they should always be your #1 priority!! Just imagine the poor little guys not having anything to eat if an emergency happens!
Great article. I have made this mistake back in my college days. Since then, I have decided to be honest with me and everyone around me regarding what I can afford and what I can't,and make my preferences be known ahead of time.
If people accept me for what I can afford and go along, I accept such friendships. If not, I simply move on. I have a good circle of friends whose value systems vibe with me.
For those others, I still respect and move with them, but don't go shopping with them.
I've been in this situation before, but with a slight twist. Although I may not dine out with friends if the budget doesn't allow, I've found myself avoiding hanging out with a certain portion of friends and acquaintances. You see, they are in a better financial place than I and I really feel uncomfortable about not being able to participate in the conversations about travel, being a stay-at-home parent, other luxuries, etc. The aftermath of these encounters leaves me feeling resentful to myself for not being in a "different place" and also feeling resentful to my husband for not providing more so that we could be in a "different place." Then I feel awful for even feeling that way. With today's economy, I should be happy about our tiny apartment, two cars that work, steady income, and groceries in the 'fridge, but I have to admit; it can be a struggle for me.
I find this to be a VERY relate-able post. There's so many psychological components of society associated with money beyond it being simply viewed as a materalistic form of trade. Many times self-esteem, impressions, acceptance, social status etc. seem to be unjustafiably tied to the money we spend. Being a frugalist is DEFINETLY not easy; it doesn't mean individuals must scrimp and save continuously and deny themselves all outings with friends, but I find once the frugal mindset begins, it is your PERCEPTION and ATTITUDE towards money that changes.
You tend to value your money so much more than you did before, that you often balk at the outrageous amounts other people will spend to buy the "latest and greatest" items. You probably also find yourself a little more hesitant to indulge in what others feel is "deserved." However, sticking to your financial goals frequently involves having to plan things out a bit differently than friends do(as they undeniably tend to have such a powerful influence over most of us) such as heading to more affordable events and not always purchasing the EXACT same items or brands as they do.
Like Neal said, at the end of the day, the most important thing is to be true to yourself and to remain within your financial comfort zone while enjoying life. I believe THAT is the true path to financial freedom
It only hurts to tell people you can't afford something the first few times. Once you get used to saying it, you'll do it without even thinking about it.
If people are your friends, they'll work with you, and may even be relieved that SOMEBODY has the guts to take a stand. If they ditch you because you can't keep up with them financially, they're weren't friends.
Friendships shouldn't cause you stress. If you have to spend a certain amount to impress them (and you don't have it to spend) then you're putting yourself in a stressful situation. Enough of life is complicated, friendships should be easy.
I can't even imagine buying clothes I don't really want, let alone a car. Are people really that weak-willed? When I bought my car, I already knew what I wanted and what I was willing to spend because I'd been researching it for months. I went by myself but there's no way it would've made any difference if someone else was with me. I went to the lot to look at one specific car, and was either going to buy it or not.
I went bed shopping with a friend, probably the biggest purchase I've made with another person. We had a great time trying out all the beds, but it didn't make any difference to my decision having another person there. The only time I've felt pressured to spend money was by a girlfriend, but that's a different dynamic.
My fiance and I are house hunting, so having a big goal that others can relate to ("Sorry we can't make it, we are saving for a down payment") helps when explaining to friends why we can't go out with them. If you still want to go out sometimes, one option is to find the best happy hour deal around and be strict about leaving when it is up! The hard part of that is actually leaving when you need to and not ordering the full price drinks later on.
Actually, now that we are saving for our house I'm regretting how I was on the other side when friends of mine were saving a few years ago – because I've always been in a comfortable finacial situation and have been able to save a good chunk without much effort, I'm sure I contributed to their pressure to spend instead of being supportive in their efforts to save. Lesson learned!!
