    Default my second salvation army score

    scored an ethan allen queen anne chair today at the salvation army. it is this, only a little beat up. ETHAN ALLEN Georgian Court 11-6211 Queen Anne Chair - eBay (item 390223777493 end time Aug-13-10 08:23:11 PDT) with a faded scarlet seat.

    $21

    it is now part of my living room.

    man, that salvation army is killer. beechnut at highway 6 in houston

    they had an ethan allen baumritter maple chest of drawers that i considered for an hour, then said no. and left. i don't have room for it.

    there were some amazing century bedroom pieces.
    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.

    It's not beat up, it's *distressed*. People pay extra for that. ::

    My goodness! I love it! Just think what you can get for it if you ever get tired of it too. Although if it was me, it would become a family heirloom. VERY nice find.
