After our good friend and realtor C K sold us our house (which is our first), he told us with a smile, "Now that you are official homeowners, let me tell you, you will leak money like a sieve!" We all laughed then, but little did we know how true that would be. It especially seems true lately as Mom B joked in an email to us about all the things we have run into lately. A lot of things we knew we would be getting, but of course we ran into a bunch of unplanned things too (for which we are happy that S's job has not been affected by the economy and we had some extra built up in savings - that is what savings is for too, right?!). We looked at the past 3 months and came up with the following:
new vaccuum - unplanned
fix stove - unplanned
new car - planned (and for good reason =)
new computer - unplanned
baby - planned
new couch - unplanned expense (but great reason =)
shelves and lamps for front room - planned
new furnace - unplanned
Having a warm happy home with 3 beautiful children...PRICELESS!
