So it turns out we are gathering a long list of large purchases we need to make. Namely, replacing our fridge. I think the thing is really on its last leg now. At this point in time, everything is freezing in the refrigerator. I try to pour tea and a large tea cube slams to the top. Yeah, it’s not good. And we keep turning the thingy down and it doesn’t help. So that’s at least 1K that we are going to have to spend. And then other things like..
new bed for Emma and Lexi…maybe bunk beds
Elliptical
Bowflex (thinking of cancelling gym membership and buying)
possibly matching stove and dishwasher (while we don’t need them sometimes you get a better deal buying all 3 and apparently Mr. OCD wants them all to match exactly)
new countertop and kitchen floor (i don’t want to put all new appliances and keep the crappy looking floor and countertop we have)
I’m sure there is more but all that will take several thousand dollars which we don’t have right now. So we’re having to prioritize and figure out what can possibly wait until mid Feb for tax season and what we can possibly do 12 month, same as cash type thing. It’s so depressing Scott and I make decent money and can’t make ourselves save anything long enough to pay for things like this.
