The Joys of Homeownership and being a Grown-Up

New water heater... $1500
 
Plumber fixing master bathroom toilet... $500
 
Katie's dental work... $200
 
New air conditioner... $7500
 
Fixing Craig's truck... $400
 
Homeownership & being a grown-up... Very Expensive and kind of sucky right now
 
Needless to say these last few months have been a little stressful.  When we bought the house we figured there would be some small things that would need to be done. We thought we might have to replace the washing machine or the dishwasher. So when our water heater was leaking and the technician told us that it wasn't fixable, we thought that was going to be our "major" contribution to the house.  We had no idea what was coming in the next month and a half.  All I know is that when it is time to sell the house we are taking people right up to the attic so they can see the $9000 worth of new stuff up there.  All of this wouldn't be that bad if we were planning on being in the house longer than another year and a half.  All I know is that we better sell this house for a profit.  I guess all of this stuff is just part of growing-up, I just wish it didn't have to happen all at the same time, yay for student loans.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that there nothing else comes up.

  1. I am so with you right now...our washer machine started leaking yesterday. I almost want to go back to school for some student loans. We'll pray for the memphis housing market to sky rocket and for you to sell your house at an amazing profit.
