Okay so everyone has been saying "we need to stimulate the economy". Well I have been doing my part. December 12 bought me and my wifes 1st home and had to buy all the appliances, which are crazy expensive for anything of quality. Had to buy tools to fix things, which was fun. Then got my 1985 300D, cause it was a great deal. Of course we found a few of our things got ruined in storage such as my old cookware. So last night went out and bought brand new cookware. Well people I have done my part to bring our economy up

Thank you. The stock market has been doing a little better lately. I'm sure it's directly related to you hefty infusion of cash into the economy.

Cool. You'll get to do some more stimulating in Spring when you need yard maintenance tools. (unless you bought a condo)

No its a house not a condo. My wife already called the maintience man 4 times now (i.e. me) to fix things like leaky faucets and such. Then I had to call to get the furnace fixed.

Good luck with everything. Becoming a homeowner is as life changing as becoming a parent.

All your priorities change.

Ah, the joys of home ownership!

I wouldn't trade owning for renting, but I'm hoping to get rid of my huge, suburban house with an equally big yard and buy something closer in to the city that is much smaller. Once the kids hve gone off to college, I don't want them moving back in.

Thanks guys!

I just moved back in to my parent's home. I didn't want to, but since I got kicked out of my old place, I had to turn to Economic Inpatient Care.

I had to do that as well its really hard to swallow your pride and admit that ***** happens and you need help. Keep working man it will get better.

Most likely that cookware was made in China and the appliances in Mexico....even the "high end" stuff isn't made here. Its very frustrating. They're charging prices that COULD keep US workers building the stuff at reasonable profit, but instead they collect 10x the profit and build it elsewhere. Meanwhile.....poof goes the US job market....

Actually yes the cookware was made in China, not sure where the appliances came from.

Its good you got a place your own. I will be working on that goal soon too, but for now, its save save save.

I did my part also. Splurged on a 42" HDTV, $900.00, two weeks later the washer freaked out and ran a flood through the laundry room, $1100+ for the new washer and flood repair, the oldest son went into the hospital for emergency surgery, $1500 to cover his deductible until he pays me back, yeah sure, my Matco tool dealer finally caught up with me for the year end closing sale, $800 for stuff I could have done without. I'd been ducking him for three weeks ever since I bought the TV 'cause I told my wife, "Don't get me anything else for Christmas because that's all I wanted".

That 3 drawer roll around cart just looked soooo lonely!

I stimulate all I can too!
