I no longer feel as stupidly rich as I did on Friday, due in part to buffing the mortgage and refreshing parts of my wardrobe. However, as fast as money may be coming in with this work thing, I have no shortage of stuff to spend it on.
1. The big jobs (one project at a time)
Insulation ceiling and floor. Getting quotes this week.
Solar hot water heating. Maybe in the next couple of months, maybe early next year.
Replace window frames and windows - front, double glazing. ASAP next spring/early summer.
Replace window frames and windows - back, single glazing, before next winter? or following spring/summer
Install heat pump - ditto.
Replace all floor coverings - maybe next year sometime.
Replace woodburner incl. functional wetback - further away
TLC Prius (de-dent, de-scratch, probably new paint job) - 18-24 months
Repay Student loan - not as soon as I would like probably, but if it's stuffing me around on tax then next April.
2. Useful stuff
Recent MS Office.
External USB hard-drive.
New glasses (or get scratches polished off current ones - suspect may just be on the anti-glare coating)).
Vodem.
New shoes.
Video capture card that works.
Reference books.
Chainsaw.
3. Sheer luxury
More visits to Dndn without having to worry about affordability :D
KapCon.
4. Sometime
New lounge suite
Replace wallpaper
Remodel kitchen
Close off mortgage
5. In parallel
Throw some money aside into 'savings' periodically
This is something of a break with my traditional spend-then-save philosophy but many of these things have been on hold for far too long and I wont be losing anything by completing them now rather than putting aside money that I will then feel bad about spending if my fortunes slip again.
