The Hidden Costs of Owning A Home
Taxes: While taxes are just an annual cost, getting slapped
with a several thousand dollar tax bill just for owning your home can be a real
shock the first year the tax bill comes due. You might be better suited to
figure your approximate taxes and budget for the cost ahead of time so you are prepared
when it is time to pay.
Insurance: You have just purchased probably the biggest
thing you ever will in your life; you have got to insure it. Insurance is going
to be required to some extent while you are paying down your mortgage; it’s
also something you should continue to invest in once you’ve paid off your
mortgage.
Maintenance: You never know what this could include, but the
maintenance is going to be a big strain on your annual budget and could cause debt issues. Whether that’s the
trash pick-up, lawn care, fixing a gutter, repairing your septic, upgrading
your air conditioning or anything else; you will know these maintenance costs
when they arise.
Cosmetics: Another thing that every homeowner will want to
do is they will want to improve the beauty of their home. You will just have to
tear down that awful dining room wallpaper. And while we’re on the subject the
bathrooms could use re-tiling. Of course you will have to improve the front
garden and of course the whole driveway has got to be repaved. Once you begin
to realize all the things about your dream home which were not as dreamy as you
thought when you bought the home, you will begin to see the cosmetic costs
begin to rise.
Time: Another one of the hidden costs of homeownership;
maybe the biggest, most straining, and least expected of all is time. You spend
so much time and effort making your career successful; when you come home you
just want to relax and not worry about anything. But when you are a home owner
you have to worry about everything.
Of course if you bought your home a few years ago and you’re
having trouble keeping up with all these unexpected costs, you may wish to look
into mortgage
modification. Mortgage modification may not be right for you, but if you
can stay in your home by adjusting payments and working out a deal with your
lender, it might help you budget better for future costly expenses.

My Publix Trip - Saved 98%, Paid $0.95
Lots of produce this trip and scouting for the new Smart Savings coupon booklet, which I did happen to find in my Tampa store. Although I haven't seen a great deal with the booklets yet, I know I'll probably use the Voskos yogurt coupon, the Crystal Farms eggs and the Simply Potatoes coupons. I also love the wasabi soy Blue Diamond Almonds and hope to be able to use that coupon too.
Anyway nothing too exciting this trip in the cart, but it seems as if no one is doing the EAS Lean Bar deal which has some good overage using a Publix coupon in the Green Advantage Flyer and the MQ printable from coupon network. They are $1.25 now but I think that price is part of the current Yellow Flyer deals that expire today, after that they go to $1.69 which basically means free but no overage.
So I spent a little more than a dollar with tax and saved 98%.

7/1 Sunday Coupon Insert - P&G
Well it looks like there is only one insert this weekend, a P&G. Plus if you live in Tampa area you can probably expect a Publix store coupon in the front news section. There will also be the new Yellow Advantage Flyer in the paper. Also the stores are supposed to all have the new Smart Savings booklet out by Friday, so be sure you look for the cardboard display and if you don't see it ask at Customer Service. They will go fast and will probably be gone by next week so you need to be out shopping at the store most likely to have them.

We're Rolling Now
Yesterday our rolling wire shelving arrived from Amazon and DH and I spent the rainy evening assembling them. They are really nice and sturdy and will make great stockpile shelves and also for our dressing room. We plan to put all our Tshirts and pants on these rolling racks so that they can be moved around when we need to. I've been looking all over the internet for shelves like these but shipping killed the deal, and tax. Silly me I didn't even look at Amazon til it came up in a google search. So they shipped free and were tax free from Amazon.
DH was alarmed at my blog post yesterday suggesting that it meant we never would have guests in our home again. But that's not the case at all. We plan to give up our bedroom to visitors, and then move ourselves in the master bedroom which we use as a dressing room. The stockpile room will also have rolling storage racks which can be easily moved to another area of the house when we have a visitor needing that guest room for accommodations.
Anyway, as part of the remodel we've got one room empty and ready to paint and will empty the dressing room this weekend. The ceiling fans should arrive today so they can be installed prior to carpet install next week. Then we can move onto the next project.
Here's what we've spent on the bedrooms projects:
$985 Carpet, pad purchase and install
$174 Paint (4 gal) and rollers
$398 Ceiling Fans for each room (2)
$200 Handyman replace windowsills, install electric outlet
$ 56 Marble windowsills (3)
$1,813 Total
Not too expensive yet. I'm not including the rolling shelves because they aren't really part of the project - we just happen to be getting them to help us move stuff around during the projects and then they will have their other purpose in life later.
How To Plan A Remodel
We live in a house built in the mid 50's and it's time to remodel. The wood paneling from the 70's, and the shaggy carpet in brown tones are aging the place. But our thoughts have always been, if its not broke don't fix it. Everything is perfectly functional but it looks aged. Is that a good enough reason to sink thousands of dollars into a remodel? Not really. But since we've paid off the mortgage we have the means to pay for everything as we go. We've cut back on our travel too, as we have everything we need to be happy right in our own back yard. So we've decided to at least modernize the remainder of our house that hasn't been remodeled. If you remember, in 2010 we totally gutted our two bathrooms and kitchen, replumbed the whole house and remodeled the bathrooms and kitchen. It took five months and twenty five thousand dollars, but it has also made life more enjoyable having new rooms with an absence of any problems.
Our next project is to remodel a couple bedrooms, our dining room and living room and office area. The bedrooms will be easy with just paint and carpet and new ceiling fans. Its the living room and office that will require more planning. One of the things I've always hated about my house is that the previous owners put up paneling over the stucco plaster walls of our block home. It makes the living room look like a trailer house. The office also has a hung ceiling with big cardboard panels and rectangle florescent lights - Oh and thats in addition to the faux wood paneling. The paneling will be removed and the original walls restored, and the ceiling removed as well giving us a taller ceiling to drywall and change the lighting. We're also replacing the exterior door and adding a window to the room. This is the last room of our remodel plans but it will be the most satisfying and transforming.
The reason we're finally doing these projects now is we've decided we just don't want to wait for our dog to die before getting new carpet. We had been waiting for years to be pet free before remodeling - but have decided its not that big a deal. The dog lives outside in the yard except when we're inside she comes in to join us. She is older and mellow and simply lays on her "place" most of the time, unless she is begging for a nibble when we're in the kitchen. The new carpet will not get ruined by having her around a few more years.
So now that we've decided that we're going to move forward with the remodel there are some steps to take to make sure everything falls into place smoothly. Here are some steps we've accomplished so far:
1. Finance the project - either save the cash in advance or make sure your budget can handle the ongoing expense of paying the handyman, the paint store and the online vendors for your supplies. If you need to put anything on credit cards to pay later you probably can't afford the project right now.
2. How will you pay? - Figure out if you can get any coupons from the big box stores where you'll be spending thousands of dollars. I just bought 10% off coupons from ebay for our carpet and it will save hundreds. Also redeem those extra reward or airline points for the big box stores for gift cards to buy your supplies. If they mail you the gift card it will take a couple weeks so do this early in your plans.
3. Design - figure out what you want and how you will use the features of your new remodeled room. We've discussed what to do in our guest room and decided since we rarely have visitors sleep over anymore it really is not going to be a guest room. Since our couponing has become extreme, we need the space for our stockpile and I would like a place to read quietly away from the TV, so it will be a stockpile, office area after the remodel. We also are increasing the number of electrical outlets to handle more power strips and to provide power where it currently is lacking. We no longer have a landline so all phone lines and jacks will be removed too.
4. Plan - Think through your steps and document them. I wrote of list of what has to happen first, second, third etc. You need to consider moving things, temporary storage of furniture while the rooms are being remodeled, what purchases need to be done first, what are the lead times, what colors will you use and do you have flooring, walls, windows and ceiling items selected and or purchased? Flooring typically requires a measure session be done by the installer before you can purchase, plus they won't schedule an install until the flooring is delivered. This can take weeks. Plus you don't want to paint after new flooring when you can do it easily before and not have to worry about making a mess.
5. Action - working on a remodel project often involves tedious tasks like tearing out the old, cleaning, patching and repairing and trips to the trash can. It may involve moving furniture and junk around to another room and ruin your groove. It may also involve lots of errands to pick up something you realize you need. It can be stressful and annoying. Its important to plan a timeline and goal for completion and allow yourselves time to relax each day too.
So, if you're planning on a remodel or household project (or not) you can follow along with us as we do ours. So far we've removed the old tile windowsills in the bedrooms and replaced with marble slabs. Now the walls are dry so we can paint. We pulled up the old carpet in the guest room. We've almost done moving everything out of the master bedroom and this weekend we plan to paint the ceilings and walls in the two rooms.

6/24 Sunday Coupon Inserts - SS RP
This weekend there should be two inserts in your Sunday Paper. Plus there is rumor of a two page spread of Publix coupons also. If you're in the Tampa Bay metro area we can probably expect to get a $2 Publix coupon in the front section of the news as well.
Remember today the Breakfast Sale $5 off $30 coupon expires. Be sure to use it up or confirm with your store that they will accept expired Publix coupons and use it later. I personally have a half dozen stores within ten miles that will take expired Publix coupons for at least a week. I'm also going to ask at these stores if they'll let me use more than one $5/$30 per order instead of splitting into smaller orders.
