Having saved over $200 in savings and using a check from our home owner's insurance (who EVER gets $ BACK?) we are now the proud owners of a stainless steel dishwasher AND over-range microwave! The dishwasher is Energy Star efficient only using 6 gallons of water/wash. We plan on using it once/day and I'm excited that we're upgrading and that saving money paid off in a BIG way. I was doing tons of dishes twice/day and it made me rageful, I swear.

Life is good today!
