[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people I talk to do a HELOC or cash out refi. And these are UMC people.

And that's the reason I'll never get a fancy remodel. DH refuses to borrow the money, yet he plows all our excess cash into retirement. He says I'll thank him one day and he's right but in the meantime I have old ugly kitchen and baths while everyone around me is renovating away. Sigh. [/quote]

The folks we bought our house from saved up for many years to add a beautiful master bedroom/bathroom addition to the first floor of the house. Husband was supposedly pretty frugal and they didn’t renovate unless it was necessary. Three weeks after that addition was put in, he walked outside and died of a stroke on the driveway. The wife now lives in a lovely brand new construction home, her son told us the entire story after we purchased the house.

Save money for retirement but enjoy your life too, you never know how long you have.[/quote]

The stress of writing the check probably killed him. [/quote]
