I’m proud of our home since it’s the first beach condo where I’ve been 100% financially independent from our parents.
It has been a year since I graduated college, as well as in the time since I’ve been slowly saving the money to transport out on our own.
Now that day has finally arrived, I believe more self-sufficient than I ever have before. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that I’ve reached this threshold in our life at last. Still, it’s not without its challenges. I have to stick to a fiercely strict budget, otherwise I’ll run out of money when bills are due. During the first few weeks of independence, sticking to our budget was a battle. But with time, I started to adjust to our new situation. Thankfully I even started putting aside a small amount of money each month for emergencies. That was a smart system because not long afterward our window air conditioner in our home quit laboring. Since I didn’t buy this component as well as had little experience with heating as well as cooling, I feared the worst. I started to wonder if it would cost $600 or $730 for a new cooling unit, despite the fact that I had overquoted the cost of a window air conditioner. I found a single at the local supercenter for just $300 before taxes. I was amazed that you could find a window air conditioner so actually as well as well within our personal budget. The hardest area was installing the new machine, despite the fact that I spent an hour on YouTube enjoying tutorials on window air conditioner installation. Once I was finished, I had a brand new air conditioner installed with ondemand freezing air.
