Sometimes it pays off having unfrugal family
Sometimes, it really pays off having non-frugal family members.
We live in a 60 yr old house with the never ending upkeep that an old house requires. My sister bought a house to flip. Well, her flip house has these beautiful bedroom, pantry, and closet doors.
She has decided to replace all of them! They are a perfect fit to my doors which are all in need of replacing.
So, dh and Ds#1 are going over to her flip house this morning and bringing me home all new (to me) doors.
I am so excited!Jill

I also have unfrugal family. I get tons of stuff from them!! They update their decor and clean out their closets to make room for their new purchases on a regular basis and I snag the old stuff. I'm the only one in my family who will take it because my brother turns his nose up at anything used (even if its by his own family
) and my sister is just as "style-conscious" as my mom.
I have no problems with free stuff!!I want to kill my mortgage! 192,391/197,370 (since July 2011)
I'm attempting to live by the principles of The Compact in 2012. Wish me luck!
2012 Financial goals
- make an extra $15k over and above any flying pay (1705/15000)
- pay an extra $1750 off my mortgage (557/1750)
- bring EF back to $10k - $3533 left to save
- avoid lifestyle inflation
- improve investment plan (change accounts) - *grumble grumble* Bank made a mistake, need to re-do paperwork
The Financial Goals I've achieved: increased RSP contribution to $300/mth, posted budget on FV for review, saved $1600 to go on vacation

I get a new wardrobe twice yearly because my Mom is one of those people that gets all new clothes each season.

That's awesome!
I have a fancy touch phone the slides to show a keyboard underneath because my mom got an iphone. The other one I had barely worked, but it did work, and it had a cracked window on the front. I call my new one my "fancy rich person's phone."
