I graduated school with a tremendous amount of student loans, i was also struggling to cover a vehicle payment, insurance as well as living expenses.

I was happy to be offered a job in my field in Fort Worth, TX, however, the paycheck of an entry level position made it hard to afford an apartment.

Hoping to keep expenses to a minimum, I chose living accommodations within biking distance from my work… The household building was seriously ancient, then most of the windows in the household were painted shut as well as yet they all leaked air, but not many of the electrical outlets worked! Because of the age of the wiring, I couldn’t run more than one appliance at a time. If I tried to microwave something while also enjoying cable, I’d trip the breaker. The toilet ran all the time as well as the dining room faucet dripped. There was only enough warm water for a ten-minute shower as well as actually low water pressure. I needed to tie the door to the refrigerator shut, as well as whenever I baked something in the oven, the smoke detector went off. My biggest complaint with the household was the heating as well as cooling unit. In Fort Worth, the summers are actually brutal. Temperatures are steadily in the high nineties as well as often soar above a hundred degrees. The humidity is excessive. The a/c in the household couldn’t begin to keep up with demand. I was constantly warm as well as sweaty as well as found it impossible to sleep. I couldn’t run a fan without tripping the breaker. In the winter, when the outdoor temperature dropped into the thirties, I needed to wear a coat inside.

I was delighted to be offered a job in my field in Fort Worth, Texas. However, the paycheck of an entry level position made it difficult to afford an apartment. Hoping to keep expenses to a minimum, I chose living accommodations within biking distance from my work. The apartment building was extremely outdated.

My husband and I moved to Birmingham, Alabama, right after we graduated from college.

We had very little money to invest into purchasing a home but didn’t want to rent.

After touring the various neighborhoods, we were delighted to find an affordable property in Highland Park. Located right near downtown Birmingham, the area offers amix of historic homes, apartment buildings and small businesses. We were able to afford the home because it had been left vacant for quite some time and need a great deal of renovation. Fixing up the house has taken us quite a few years. We began with the most pressing issues, such as a new roof and bringing the electrical system up to code. We’ve installed new windows and exterior doors, sanded and refinished the hardwood floors and eventually managed to remodel both bathrooms. It took us quite a while to save up the money to update the kitchen. I was delighted to replace the ancient refrigerator, stove, linoleum floor, warped cupboards and formica countertops. We’ve gradually torn down all of the walls and ceilings throughout the house, added insulation and installed new drywall, outlets and light fixtures. This allowed us to access the ductwork, which was a mess. Whoever designed the original duct system created all sorts of sharp bends that restric airflow. There were also holes, leaks at the seams and a tremendous amount of grime builtup inside the pipes. We hired a local Birmingham HVAC professional to entirely remove the old ductwork and design a more energy efficient alternative. We took out a loan to afford a high-efficiency furnace and air conditioner that effectively handle the demands of local weather. With temperatures in Birmingman dropping into the thirties and climbing into the nineties, heating and cooling is important to comfort.

My husband and I are huge hockey fans.

• We enrolled our boys into a hockey program right after they learned to walk.

We love attending NHL games. Living in the northeastern part of the country, we watch most the games from home. Buying tickets is always risky because the weather is so unpredictable. There is the very real possibility of blizzard conditions or even a driving ban that prevents us from making the hour-long commute to the stadium. We can be sure that we’ll need to brush snow off the car and scrape ice from the windshield. The heater and defrost will run at max capacity for the entire drive, and the walk from the parking lot to the venue is always brutal. It’s necessary to bundle up in heavy snow boots, winter coat, knitted hat, gloves and scarf. Once they graduated from college, my sons both moved to Florida. One of them lives in Tampa and has become a fan of the Tampay Bay Lightning. Every year, for a Christmas present, he buys tickets to a game for my husband and I. We fly to Tampa and spend a week enjoying the blue skies, bright sunshine and warm temperatures. Attending a hockey game in Tampa is a much different experience for us. We wear shorts, T-shirts and sandals and run the air conditioner on the way to the game. The walk from the parking lot is pleasant. There are always lots of outdoor activities organized for the fans. It’s actually a relief to step inside the air conditioned stadium. I always carry along a sweatshirt, because the rink is chilly, but I never end up wearing it. The cold feels refreshing.

I love going to the downtown farmer’s curb market in Lakeland, Florida.

My spouse plus I live around two hours away from Lakeland, once a year we make a pilgrimage there! It is honestly nice since the drive is super short plus the stay doesn’t have to be long.

My associate and I found a wonderful hotel but nothing grand to save money. My associate and I eat at some of the most amazing food stalls, bakeries, plus cafes I have ever eaten in. My associate and I also do a lot of local events like the rodeo, bar hopping, or see a museum! The last afternoon is consistently the downtown market. I love all the odd stands. There are all sorts of things to buy ranging from food to knick knacks. I honestly just love walking around plus looking at things. My spouse plus I chose to go in the early part of the Spring. The rates for booking plus food tends to be lower. The weather also is much less intense. I love it when our weather is in the 74s. I can take 74s in a pinch, but nothing warmer, however when the heat reaches the 90s plus the humidity is paired with it, keep me inside with the AC blasting. Our trip to Lakeland is about being outdoors rather than temperature control! So picking that sweet spot with the weather can get tough sometimes, then luckily we live close enough that we can be picky with the times. My associate and I then don’t need much notice before we pack our backpacks plus head to one of my number one getaway endpoints.

I had it in my head that when our home boiler system busted I was going to buy a gas fireplace.

• I am so glad that I lived in the home with a boiler for years before it quit on me.

One year with a boiler and I will never go to another system again. The winter season is long, brutal and cold in Elgin, Illinois. You need a quality heater to get by. A gas fireplace just doesn’t have the right equipment to do it. A boiler system can heat an entire building or a small home without a hitch. It can be hooked up to baseboards, the flooring, water tank, or even the driveway. It heats through electricity or water, whatever you want. It doesn’t require any maintenance either. Boilers are tanks of heating systems. The only reason someone would replace one is that replacement parts are no longer made. They can live comfortably for fifty years. If you can manage to track down worn parts, expect closer to 80 years of life. Once my boiler system quit on me, I immediately got on the horn and started calling my local Elgin heating company. I wanted a boiler system that was built to last. I wanted to buy one heating system and live with it the rest of my life. I sprung for the newest, most expensive model on the market. It really was pricey and hurt my bank account. When you look at it as a lifetime investment it is worth it. Also the workload that heater is going to undertake means that it should cost a bit.
