Homes are Expensive

We had to pick up a few items at Home Depot to continue working on some home repairs. A new circular saw blade, a pair of sawhorses, an extra-long drill bit, can of spray-primer & spray-paint, and a few sheets of OSB. We got to checkout and the total was $99 plus change. 

I don't think twice about dropping $100 at the hardware store, but I almost always cringe at the idea of spending $20 for a pair of pants or top. It's truly unbelievable the amount of money that we've put into repairs & renovations, and the amount of money that we're "hoping" to put in over the next year or so. 

As much as I'd like to renovate and redecorate everything to my taste, it's temping to just stop putting money into any non-essential repairs, and instead use all of it for fun stuff. Clothes, hobbies, vacations.
