I’m the first to confess that I am an seriously frugal and thrifty human being.
I am not embarrassed to tell you that I like to save a buck.
I am not extravagant when it comes to buying things for myself and I don’t prefer the dealer of people who need to throw money around to have a superb time. I am much happier just keeping things self-explanatory and cheap, and enjoying my savings build up over time. I willtry to make do whatever I can in order to save some cash. I like to know outside of the box when it comes to finding affordable solutions. That’s why I was convinced that I could update our beach house cooling system myself. It is my family’s old beach house, which was left to me about a decade ago. I went to visit the little household and found that it had started to fall apart. The cooling system, in particular, was not operational and needed an immediate updatement. Obviously, being down on the beach, a cooling system is necessary. There’s so much sun and humidity that you need indoor temperature control at all times. I happen to have an old central air conditioner component up north that was not being used. I figured I could pull it out of storage and install it in the beach house by myself. Problem solved! My friend and I would have A/C again! What I did not realize when I was trying to be thrifty, was that beach homes require particular air conditioner units. They are built particular ly to withstand sand and saltwater erosion. Within two months of hauling my A/C component down and installing it in the house, the cooling system had died and needed updatement. This time, I asked a professional Heating & Air Conditioning tech for help. Sometimes you just can’t be Thrifty.
