Hey, I’m not going to pretend that I don’t try to save cash at just about every turn.
- It’s sort of in my DNA I suppose.
Our family was all about the savings when we were growing up. Both parents worked undoubtedly tough in jobs that don’t traditionally spend money well. So, we did stuff about being ever mindful of the heating and A/C setting in order to save cash every month. In fact, that is something that I still do in every season. Yet, there are still areas where I simply will not budge when it comes to cost. There aren’t too several of them but, I’m faced with one right now. Our heating and A/C component got us through another grueling summer. Each Autumn, I have the HVAC system tech come out to inspect and service the HVAC unit after the heavy lifting of the summer. This time, we got some awful news. It seems that our heating and cooling component has a part that is on the verge of failing. If this part fails, there will be a cascade of other problems for the heating and A/C. Now, if this were our old truck, I would go to a woman I suppose to see what she could do as cheaply as possible. However, this is the heating and A/C and is totally essential to our family’s comfort. I am not trusting it to any sort of unlicensed handyman to labor on. As much as I don’t care about dipping into our savings, it will just have to be done. The heating and A/C will only be repaired by certified and licensed professionals. And that’s just all there is to it.
