How to add a room addition without going bankrupt

[ADSENSE_0000000144]

Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart

I believe it was George Bernard Shaw who said "Too bad youth is wasted on the young."

How right he was. Which one of us doesn't want to rewrite at least part of our youth experience?

Some of those really dumb things we did come back to haunt us later on in life.

However there may still be time left to stop doing the dumb things we continue to do today.

What's that you say? "We don't do dumb things anymore"

Oh yes we do.

I watched you buy room additions for 25 years & you kept making the same mistakes over & over. You really made a mess of things.

I witnessed people buy additions for thousands of dollars more than they were worth. (From those dastardly competitors of mine, of course.

They fell for the flim-flam nonsense thrown at them because they wanted to believe that they were getting something for nothing.

Free wall paneling, free air conditioner units, free windows, free tile floor....... free upgrades were pretty hard to turn down.

"What a deal I got!" Yeah, right!

You paid too much & you could have bought it elsewhere for less.

The basic Economics 101 lesson remains the same. Business has to take in more than it spends. I assure you There is no way that a business can "give away" anything.

The cost is hidden somewhere in the contractors estimate. We understand this intellectually but it is hard to grasp emotionally.

The lesson is, buy with your head, not your emotions.

That's just part of the buying lesson. The really good stuff can be learned in any one of my ebooks.
