Video, Editing Software and Decision

So I'm considering whether or not to make another plunge. This time it involves editing. If I tape a wedding for example I would like to be able to edit it with more capability than I have now. The editing software I currently use is extremely limited although I didn't pay for it. I'm also experimenting with a free extremely limited version of Avid express. The price for a full version isn't cheap for me. To upgrade the old program, would only cost around $50 vs. $700-$800 for Avid. Youch. I really do dislike decisions, especially when it involves money I don't have. No, I just dislike decisions, period. Of course, I'll figure something out. I don't even enjoy editing much but who knows, maybe it can be turned into a money maker in time. Anybody got something you want video taped? I just might shoot it of you at a very low cost, especially if it's local.
