My family just budgets things differently, I guess. (houseofhermens.com)
When Kevin and I decided to build our own house, we wanted it to be healthy, with no mold (as I was getting migraines in our apartment in Sausalito, and we found it was because there was mold in the walls); we wanted no energy bills (we were and are on a budget); we wanted low water bills (that budget thing again); and we didn't have a lot of money, so we couldn't build a big house but still wanted it to feel spacious.

This shoe - string budget thing from the get - go meant I needed to do as many things as I could myself so I wouldn't have to pay someone else to do them. (elizabethspanncraig.com)
