[quote=Anonymous]Similar bracket and stats, our hh income is lower ($220). Recently reading the guidelines about how all basic money guidelines can fit on an index card and this has helped me stop obsessing because if i can pay cash for it or pay it off in a month i consider it if i have thought about it and really love something for the house. We have a big old beautiful house and i am a house person. Having said that...i like the hunt and i have patience so I buy a lot of furniture used. Like craigslist dc and consignment. For example our family room couch was from crate and barrel, slipcovers can be washed, it was $300n i bought it from a young single woman leaving dc. instead of $1600. I just got a new striped wingchair, high end upholstery for $175. It's adorable. So yes, buy, but balance out end with used if you are not strongly opposed. I get things like hurricane lamps for candles, coffee table trays, design books, etc. at a really nice goodwill in my neighborhood. [/quote]
