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