Yep, at this point choosing the battles is pretty important. I'd like the chairs, but I am not sure it is worth the cost. It does seem that a lot of things are walking out of the house. But thena gain, those are the things I notice.... not the stuff that has stayed. It's only money! Assuming the housing market ever rebounds, I'll come out way ahead there, though right now it doens't feel that way.
Keeping the positive outlook is a bit tricky at times, but it does seem possible to decide to do it.
