Not Your Typical Success Story

... but for US it is!

After nearly 3 years of having only a dorm-size fridge (4 cubic feet, no freezer) we bought a fridge... IN CASH! (success)

~ Backstory: We originally bought a Samsung from Lowes. It was a bottom freezer, all the bells and whistles a Domestic Goddess would want. It cost nearly $1000 three years ago. It lasted all of 13 months! We had the repairmen here 4 times before it was finally carted away and we bought a dorm fridge to "hold us over" until we found one we liked.

We still don't have a credit card... as tempting as it was to get one, we knew as soon as we had a Home Depot CC we would find things that need fixing around the house. (success)

And, we didn't have to touch the"Emergency Fund" at all to buy it! (success)

We got it on sale AND will get a $50 rebate from Energy Star (success)


It's not pretty... but it's paid for!!!!
MY FRIDGE --- FINALLY!!!!
