We had delayed many large purchases for as long as possible and the good news is, that all such purchases have been quite successful.
A couple of months ago, I finally got a new pair of glasses and have been loving them. Not only do I see much better throughout the day, I look younger because the frames hide the bags under my eyes :)
We gave away one car and traded in the other for a 2011 Nissan Sentra last Spring and are really enjoying the car. It has saved us on gas and has made our AC trips much more comfortable.
Also last Spring, I finally caved and got a new Acer laptop with a dvd burning drive at Walmart and the darn thing has been wonderful. My blog has benefited with some nice video clips (hopefully, our politicians will make the right decisions as far as the internet).
Last but not least, we had a new oil burner installed by our oil company last Spring. The pricing was stressful because the sales rep was very misleading. The owner of the company did resolve most of our issues. Well, we just got our first oil delivery and were pleasantly surprised to see we used less than 1/3 of the oil our ancient furnace used to consume. The darn thing may pay for itself in a few years!
Between making very good purchases and switching our gambling to The Borgata, we were doing really well ...
till DH's partial bridge broke and the new one is costing a small fortune.
