Payday Report for 6/29/18

June 30th, 2018 at 02:55 am

It is nice not to have to worry about money quite so hard with all the overtime. I am still being careful to assign every dollar a name, though. Even if that name is just cushion, as I am keeping one in the checking account. If the cushion gets too high, I will throw it at the Monster Mom Loan.

DH and I decided we could do $50 a month on allowances for our own blow money while he is earning so much OT. Starting next month that will be in one lump instead of separated, on the last payday of the month. I also upped the Household envelope to $50 a week instead of $25. I want to replace the bathroom faucet and get a different water filter for the kitchen. I hate our current water filter, it makes the kitchen faucet lower and I can't get some of my taller pots under it now. It'll have to wait until we go through all the cartridges, though.

I do want to get the bathroom faucet replaced ASAP. It is constantly putting out this black crud no matter how much we clean it and it also recently started growing something green under the central cap. Yuck. I've never had a bathroom faucet do this in my life. I was living with the black crud, but the green stuff is freaking me out. My mother picked the cheapest faucet for this bathroom. I'm going to spring for one that is a little more costly and made of chrome. Also it will be the American Standard brand, which I've never had these issues with. We might need to be replacing the showerhead in a couple of months as well.

    American Standard faucets are no longer any good. They are made with cheap plastic parts and poor quality metal on the inside. I bought two American Standard kitchen faucets in the last ten years. Not the low end, but the Reliant series. Both rusted out and broke in under 5 years. Look at the ratings and reviews at Lowe's and Home Depot. Open the boxes and look at the guts of the faucets. The brand is not what it used to be.

    Thanks, AR! That is disappointing, but good to know.
