Lots of people I know are considering a redo of their kitchen. If they have a long work commute, and gas prices are putting them in a pinch, they are often choosing to entertain themselves closer to home or at home. The more time you are at home, the more an ugly, obsolete, or damaged kitchen stares at you.
Lots of people are still trying to keep up with the Joneses and it is sure tempting to rush a job just because company is coming over from out of town. You can sell some of your collectibles like on Cash in The Attic to bankroll the job. You can do the responsible thing and put money aside every week, but some people are taking out equity lines in a few days or week or are even getting a Payday Loan Faster. Yes, I actually knew a couple who wanted to get the job done so bad that they took a cash advance on their paycheck! It was almost way too easy as they didn’t have to get dressed to apply for it on the internet. Simple as pie!
Granted, they were a government contractor who got paid only once a month, but they just felt that if they waited, Aunt Sally would have come and seen their rotten kitchen, and though they may be paying for the finishing touches for a few weeks due to interest, they felt that impressions by others was more important than that!
Be careful out there. When considering a kitchen redo, find out how much return you will get for the improvement and shop around. If the terms are not good, stuff a chocolate muffin in your mouth. The chemicals in chocolate will give you a rush that is similar to feeling “in love.” and that teal and cranberry kitchen with the goose wallpaper border might look a little more appealing to you.
