I am getting worn out from paying living expenses – from what almost seems like an avalanche of expenses for my daughter’s baton classes, team, and queen duties to paying for the new dental crown – there’s little extra for Christmas this year! I am so crossing my fingers that nothing happens to the house. I want the dishwasher to continue working along with the refrigerator, stove, plumbing, heater… and everything in between!
That’s why I found myself nodding my head along with Steve over at Brip Blap who wrote Score One for Renting,
As we’ve closed on our home purchase and start moving out of our rental I’ve been reminded of one of the benefits of renting. Following Murphy’s Law almost to a T, our kitchen sink backed up severely on Thursday. Drano and Liquid Plumber helped slightly, allowing a trickle to drain through, but for all intents and purposes the sink was useless. We decided not to interrupt our landlord’s Thanksgiving, being the selfless tenants we are (ha), and waited until Friday.
His bill was nothing. I like that price.
