Saving Money!

I was planning on spending my entire tax return on new windows for my house. I kept looking at the money and thought of all the really cool things I could have done with it -- a trip to Ireland, a new Mac Computer, etc., but the joy of homeowning means you have to keep things fixed up.

The window replacement guy was just here to give me an estimate, not a bear, but a nice red-haired Irish kind of guy.

The good news: the price for replacement is almost $2,000 less than I'd budgeted!!!!

WOO HOO!!!

Based on how many estimates? Are you getting multiple estimates? Be careful unless you know the reputation of the contractor/installer.

It's always nice when you overbudget a little bit and their is a prize in the end. :)
