Oh yeah. My last major outlay of funds for the move. I figure the convenience of having my own washer and dryer plus the savings from not having to use the coin-op (plus the fact there is no coin-op in sight) was worth the money. I did want to upgrade to an LCD TV, but that can wait. Besides, for every month I don’t buy a new TV the price goes down. And I need clean clothes now.
I almost bought a set of the Neptunes from Maytag because they were pre-leased(and therefore a bit cheaper), but I did some quick research and people have had a lot of trouble with them. So I bought a set like this instead:
I really feel like I should be wearing a salmon colored shirt at this point. But I like to get excited over stuff that makes my life better. Laundry is just one of those things I have to do, so there is nothing effeminate about getting excited about it, right? It is a machine, after all. Machines are manly… But the fact I recognize that salmon is more than just a fish might be questionable.
I am actually using a ninety days same as cash deal from Aarons Rents. It is surprisingly not much more expensive (about $125) than buying it directly from Sears, and I get free delivery and hook-up and maintenance within the ninety days. Since I would spend almost that much in laundry fees and drive time and stuff until I saved up the cash to pay in full, I justified the use of semi-credit. I always thought ninety days same as cash was a lot more expensive. I think I will look into it for when I upgrade my TV.
They deliver it tonight after 4. I need to clean out the utility room. But right now I think I’ll go for a swim.
Life is good.
