It only takes money.
two of my biggest expenses during the month are gas and electricity.
I can only cut back so far on their use, but what if I did some upgrades? I have blown insulation in my attic, I want to lay down some rolled insulation then cover it with ply wood. That should save me a bit on heating and cooling. Id also like to have somebody come out and take a look at my ac/heat pump. I think it can perform alot better.
Both of those have some cost to them.
Now, my car is nearing ten years old and has about 112k miles on it. It still has some trade in value, (3 or 4k) do I trade it in now for something that gets better gas milage? Or do I keep driving it? Possibly reducing what I could get for it but getting more for what I paid for it? Its possible that it's getting a transmission issue, if thats the case I'm going to trade it in pronto. If not ill have to crunch some numbers. It currently averages about 20mpg in the city and that sucks hard. (better than my javelin, but I dont drive that car any more) speaking of the javelin, id like to sell it, it's a toy I can't afford right now.
