Just wondering... how do you pay for your equipment and upgrades?

I very much welcome and appreciate your feedback and constructive criticism!

through profits from clients and sales
I tried offering the salesman some beans, but that didn't really work, so I stuck to using money thereafter.
I had to go to the good old credit and full time job

i go to 4 op shops everyday and buy about 30 bucks of gear
mainly old plates
and resell
i have made enough this month for a 10-20 siggy 24-70 siggyand i have enough for a 70 -200 siggy
but tossing up whether to get that or new tripod or 580ex11 flash

this one time, after band camp - I walked into the casino with a 100 dollar note aiming to win a Canon full frame camera. I walked out 10 mins later looking forlorn and 100 dollars poorer, so I bought a Pentax
i pay for my gear by getting other people to pay for it as payment for doing shoots for them
Canon 6d, 7d , 40d, 100-400L, 24-105Lmm, 50mm 1.8, 28-135 and a sigma 18-200

I paid for my gear by living 1/2 my life over the past few years down a very deep, dark, hot, sweaty hole.

Constructive Critique of my images always appreciated
I have a good job Monday to Friday and an understanding wife who agrees my camera equipment is cheaper than a boat or a Porsche
These days it's self funding though I haven't bought anything much for a couple of years now.
A combination of savings, credit and selling stuff. I sold alot of my kids baby stuff and that bought me 2 lenses.
Cheers

Avoid shooting with a 12 gauge shotgun. Use a Canon instead.
Canon 5D, Canon 7D, 50mm 1.4, 18-55mm, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC, Sigma 70-200mm f2.8, 580EX Speedlight. Facebook
Being on the pension there is not much left there, so I collect cans, bottles etc from the local pub and take them to the local collection depot (SA) for the 10c each. I also save money running my Ute on bio-diesel made from the old cooking oil collected from the local pubs and take aways. I am currently saving for a 70-200 2.8L, it's going to take a while, especially when things like fridges die on you.

In my job as a cleaner, i get extra work during school holidays, and either use it to buy camera stuff or save it for a holiday or something for the house,
or to pay the taxman
