I ended up spluring on a Nikon DSLR camera. I found an awesome deal, with an upgraded lens and accessories. I utilized a rewards credit card and will be able to cash flow the purchase before it even bills.
I am paying it off with Overtime Hours.
I calculated how much I net per each hour of overtime. To pay myself for this camera, I need to work 31.5 hours of overtime.
In today's paycheck, I had 11.5 OT hours that went to the camera balance.
Monday, I worked 4 hours of OT
Tuesday, I worked 3 hours of OT
Thursday, I worked 1 hour of OT
Total OT I have completed towards this goal: 19.5
This weekend, I will put in at least 5-7 hours of OT between Friday & Sunday.
Total OT to the goal at the end of this week: 24.5 to 26.5
Next week, I will need to have to do at least 5-7 hours of OT.
Splurged on a DSLR Camera - not in budget, but don't feel badly

I love my Nikon. Best money ever spent. I'd like another lens - maybe in the near future, it is about 5th on the list of things I'd like to have.
Great job on funding it with all that overtime!
