I’ll have to look and see what brand. They seem nice. All I know is that the entire bill was 2100 dollars (I just paid the rest of it today), I’m not sure how it was broken down labor vs. material cost. Thats 420 dollars per window, which seems ridiculously high to me, but like said, the wife took care of everything and I didn’t bother questioning since I trust her judgement.

It put a dent in my savings, thats for sure…

420 bucks per window, i hope they are some big windows LOL construction aint my thing but i got skills and shit i woulda came to your house with tools myself and done it for 300 something per window and been a happy mofo !

Six month cushion is great… I’ve read that if you have a 3-6 month “emergency fund” set aside, that’s a good thing.

You can use that instead of taking out loans / racking up CC bills to deal with an emergency situation (something big breaks on car / house)

As for discipline, well I hear ya man but if you have discipline to put aside 6 months worth of living expenses I’m sure you know when an expense is a MUST and when it’s not.

HOWEVER if you are a hobo in the 518 area (who stole internet access and joined Shift) and $200 represents 6 months worth of living expenses ignore the above sentence… :lol

i think someone who can continue living the lifestyle they had with income for 6 months…without income and rely soley on the money they have saved… than i think that was called wealthy somewhere…

My savings account is used solely to hold the money I want to put towards my car. :rofl

Thats what i’d like to do hopefully. Theres only so many times though you can get woken up in the middle of the night cause of some douchebag above / below in your building, and thats been my current situation for the last 5 years. I value a good nights sleep and piece of mind more than money. PLUS I HATE anybody going near my garage or shit down there. I guess when your the owner there can be rules though…

there is things we all dont want, and things we rather not tolerate like being woken up in the middle of the night, but you got to suck it up for a few years, do the work to reap the rewards of a peaceful nights sleep and get that pea from out the underside of your mattress

We should all thank Anthony for proving a point several times in this thread: do not take anyones advice if they don’t know what they’re talking about and never take anyones advice if you don’t fully comprehend it yourself.

• 1 talk isnt cheap …its free and everyone and anyone will give advice…but take a step back before you take that advice and ask yourself …if that person is giving the advice from a place where you want to be financially and whatever… which is exactly why i guess you shouldnt take my advice LOL !
