I think I now possess a money pit. But it's all good.
I mowed my lawn for the first time this morning. It's been years since I've mowed a lawn. It was nice at first, but by the end I was all sweaty and needed another shower. The lawnmower was $200. I bought a bed - $600. Washer & Dryer - $850. Upgrade the floor to tile (it has to be replaced anyway) - $1200. And there's all sorts of miscellaneous expenses. Door springs. Mirror brackets. Light bulbs. Garden hose. It's a good thing I planned on this costing more than I expected.
I do wish I had a truck. Mom & Dad say I can borrow the jeep anytime, but I can really only go do things on Saturday, and that's the day for four-wheeling. Once my kitchen floor is replaced, I'll move the all the kitchen stuff off the living room floor, and force Mom and/or Dad to go to DI with me and get a sofa of some sort.
I get a free propane barbecue from RC Willey, because they put a $100 off sticker on the washer/dryer set I was buying, but it wasn't supposed to be there, so they instead gave me a $100 gift card, which I'm using on a barbecue. So, come on over and we'll have a cookout (BYOM though - I'm poor now).

Yes, houses our money suckers. we don't even own and we've figured that one out. hoses and lawnmowers, sink filters and sprinkler heads all start adding up.
