About Me

Ima saver (julie is my real name)

I am over 60, but still feel like I am just 7. I love to go dancing with my wonderful husband of almost 30 years. Since we have never earned a lot of money, we have learned to take care of what we have. We live in the mountains in north georgia in a big beautiful house that my husband build and it is mortgage free. Now I am trying to save so my "younger" husband can retire someday.

No spend day

I had a no spend day yesterday. I stayed home waiting for the repairman all day, so i also used no gasoline. I walked a mile and have another $2.00 to add to my challenge money.
The bad part is the repairs to the dishwasher and the ice machine are going to run about $500. I will get them fixed this once but next time I will just get a new dishwasher. I am not sure if I will ever get another stand alone ice machine. This one has been a real pain, but I am addicted to ice. also, dh takes a cooler full of ice to the job every day.
Prev. total $19,630.00
today 2.00
new total $19,632.00

The pump for the icemaker is $220. Labor is $150. I wish my husband made $150 an hour.

$150 an hour- thats wild- I've never heard of anyone making that- even bodyguards are $600 for a whole day( unless your broken arrow, who is the most expensive officer:>)

Maybe you should get the reusable blue ice for the cooler and just make enough ice in the freezer to get you through your daily ice habit. I think it would be cheaper in the long run.
