Something I'm quite happy about

I've been reading a lot of personal finance blogs lately. I find them rather interesting, probably because both Anne and I are pretty frugal and don't like spending money if we don't need to. Anyway, we have been spending a lot of money recently. New kitchen cabinets are really freaking expensive. Our cabinets cost more than our appliances, that's just insane if you think about it. Our counter tops are in the process of being cut, and we also hired Badger Fence to extend our fence to enclose most of our side yard as well. That's a lot of money to be spending!

That's not what I'm happy about.
What I'm happy about is that so far, we haven't had to interrupt our regular monthly savings regimen (which is something like 25% of our income) or take any money out of our savings to pay for this stuff. A lot of that is thanks to our tax return money which was quite nice and received at just the right time. The coming economic stimulus rebate will also help us out.
