Aha Moment...

It's funny how a mindset can change, when looking at the bigger picture. When we moved into our house a few years ago, we wanted to get stainless steel appliance (like in our last home) for the kitchen, as our new house came with white appliances, the fridge seemed pretty new, but the stove was older and the dishwasher was even more aged - now thinking in a frugalistic mode - to heck with the stainless steel appliances - I'm hoping our white (older) appliances last 10+ years.
