What Your New Car Is Really Costing You | Frugal Living

9/7/2020

One of the first things people enjoy upgrading in their life is their car. People sometimes justify it as 'I need something more reliable" or "I need more space". Sometimes that is really the case but I feel more often than not it's simply that I just want it. there is nothing wrong with that but you should at least know what you are giving up!

Have you ever wanted a free date night? A massage? A free night in a hotel room?

If you are looking for new appliances to put in your house, stop and read this!

When I moved into deal 3 there wasn't a refrigerator, washing machine, or dryer so obviously I needed to get some, this isn't the 1700s. I started my search and since this was the first single family house that I bought for me to live in I wanted the place to look nice. And when you are trying to spruce a place up you need fancy appliances and it gets no classier than stainless steel. I just wish someone would have reminded me that trying to be classy gets expensive real quick. I started having mini panic attacks as I looked at the prices of combining multiple fancy appliances together.

Naturally, this lead me down a search to figure out how to get the good stuff for cheaper and half off new appliances is what I found!

Have you looked at buying new furniture recently?

Well I did and let me tell you, it can be expensive! I'm sure if you broke down the amount of time I'd spend sitting on that couch the price might make sense, but I'm not here for a rational numerical point. I just wanted to vent my disappointment that all nice modern looking furniture and my budget don't mix.

This means, as with most things, I'm sticking with the frugal option. I'll be hopping in the '09 Camry and cruisin' around to second hand stores looking to buy used furniture, or best case getting it for free, and trying to make it my own. The only problem I have with that is I'm 30 now, basically an adult, I want my place to look nice. So, the best solution I've found to getting modern looking furniture is to do it myself and here is how..
