I’m a big believer in making use of what you have and resisting the urge to purchase the “newest” thing. Even when for years you may have thought otherwise, you usually figure out that if you thought something wasn’t useful it was mainly due to lack of experience with it.
It takes time to figure out your tools, & nothing happens overnight.
