It's Time To Get Our Own Appliances

Last week, John bought a two-door refrigerator at a very affordable price. That's probably the biggest appliance he bought so far since we've been together. We lived in an apartment before and it came with stove, refrigerator, and washer and dryer so we didn't bother to get us our own home appliances. But since we live in a home now, both him and I decided that it's about time we should start buying our own appliances so the next time we move, we won't need to worry about getting us a place that, if not fully furnished, at least has the basic appliances in it. We can just focus on finding the best place for the whole family.

Yesterday, he came up to me showing me a photo of a washer and a dryer that a person from his work is trying to sell because he's soon leaving for Japan. The price is reasonable for the two that, although aren't brand new, but still are in good condition. He said he sent the guy a message telling him he's interested and would like to take a look at them before making the final decision. He asked me if I won't mind getting a second-hand washer and dryer for right now, and I told him I don't mind at all. I can go with anything used as long as they're still in good condition. I think that's a wise thing for us to do right now considering that we'll be relocating again in less than 2 years and I'm kind of worried that if we buy new stuff, they might end up getting damaged or scratched from the move. I honestly am thinking it would be better to buy brand new things for the house if we actually already own the place. I don't mind us buying new smaller items for now because they pretty much can fit inside the box where they're more protected from serious damages and being scratched up. But the bigger appliances? I don't think so! I'm not about to sit here and have us spend a huge amount of money to buy brand new appliances and then they end up getting broken or something. It's just not worth it at this time. But regardless, I'm still up for getting us our own things one at a time. We just have to really decide on which ones we absolutely need right now and hold off on the things that can wait. A refrigerator was a big start. Now, we'll just have to cross our fingers and pray that we get to buy the washer and dryer because we do need something that's newer and better than the ones we're using right now. We won't find out until Friday, I think. I really do hope they're still up for sale and that no one has bought them yet because with the price and everything, we've got a really good deal on those ones.
