sort of...
Rick and I are on week 7 (or is it week 8?) of Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University, and feeling pretty in charge of our financial future... sorta :o) Hard to be COMPLETELY in charge when we're still in debt LOL
We got a nice federal return, and instead of paying off bills, we decided it would be better spent updating some of our appliances and buying a shed. The shed will be a stress reliever (got a cold sore yesterday to prove just how STRESSED I've been! LOL), it will get all the boxes and totes out of our closets and dining room and broken bathroom shower LOL (yeah, we need to fix that eventually!) The appliances will hopefully help bring down our electric and water bills. The park we live in changes the water rates every month... once it was $20, the next month it was almost $80... and we used the SAME EXACT amount of water! Grrrr....
Rick and I got the girls up nice and early and took them over to Appliance Factory Outlet, and after quite a bit a talking to each other... we purchased a brand new washer and dryer! We even got it for a little less then it would have been. Not a whole 'Dave Ramsey' amount less... but maybe about $100 less. It's a baby step for us :o) The coolest part though? The cost for the set, the tax and delivery was less than $1300. If we had bought them at Lowe's, it would have been that much BEFORE tax and delivery :o) So THAT felt good :o)
Not sure if we'll ever become pros at haggling, but every little bit will help :o)
