I have three ... Mary, my Singer featherweight was born in the mid 1940s and is wonderful for traveling to classes. I have had my old Singer machine for nearly 30 years and Goldie is a work horse. I use Goldie strictly for quilting. My "new" Singer machine has been running for 10 years now and used about 90% of all my sewing time. She is getting very tired.
I dream of owning a new computerized wonder machine like Bernina or Pffaf but I would rather spend $2000 (up to $6000) on fabric and classes and books. All I need is a needle rolling down to pick up the bobbin thread and pull it through to make a stitch.
