105. I'm going to add to my list: huge, expensive 'remodeling' or 'redecorating'
of your home ...

I understand, if you buy a home that is less than ideal and you need to remodel an old bathroom, update kitchen appliances, etc., but some people feel the need to change stuff around regularly. Oh! I need new kitchen cabinets! I need a new island! I need a vast, gigantic bathroom! My couch is fine, but I'm tired of it - must get a new one!

I guess I don't understand consumerism -- and when it comes to your home, make sure the bones are good, then if you're bored, paint the walls. Buy a few throwpillows. Don't tear out the freaking kitchen.

And why do kitchen remodels cost tens of thousands of dollars? It's just ridiculous.
