We just started and completed 3/4ths of a master bedroom remodel. Not so earth shattering, but we paid cash for the construction, the paint, and the Ikea wardrobe closets.
In the past we would have checked to see how many cards we could have used. What I found? It is very hard to overspend what you planned for if you are using cash.
Living within your means is easier without credit.
We’ve paid off stuff, but the money we should have to put on other stuff, is gone!
I did it, but I’m not going to tell that I liked it. I sold the best iPod ever on eBay.
Now I have to wait for PayPal to release the funds once I get positive feedback from the buyer or it’s delivered or 21 days.
I sold it because I needed the money. I was once told patience is a virtue… I’d like to meet the person who told me that and make them give me the money. [GRIN]
