There is this little thing at the bottom of your keyboard called a "space bar" that many people find useful for making messages more legible. If you don't have one, you should upgrade soon.
Depending on your location one or maybe 2 weddings should give you $4000-$5000. I recommend renting for a couple weddings and buy a better camera then $1000 will buy. You will thank me when you start really using your camera. Weddings can be brutal on equipment.
