I had no idea buying a new refrigerator would cost so much money.
When I bought my last one, I remember them being 30% to 40% cheaper than they are now. I guess inflation affected the prices on everything, not just foods and everyday items. It’s really hard to make more money on a limited income. I’m trying to get more work and then make more cash if I can. Hopefully by the end of the year I’ll be making a higher income than I am now. That’s going to rely entirely upon whether or not I can save money every month. Are several different expenses that are coming up in my life that are going to be difficult to swing. Eventually I need to get my roof replaced. I got a few quotes and they weren’t exactly consistent with one another. I can wait another year or two on the roof, but I can’t really wait on the HVAC system. My current HVAC system is already 18 years old at this point and it’s causing me to spend a lot of electricity. It’s really inefficient at this point and barely calls my house. I already know how much money the new HVAC system is going to cost me. The real question is how I’m going to get the money together to pay for it. I’m hoping I can prove my credit enough or I can get to a point where I can afford it. I might even ask for a loan for my parents if they’re willing to help me out. I don’t want to ask for a loan from a friend even if it’s for my HVAC system. At that point I would just go get a portable air conditioner and deal with the inconvenience of it all.
