I bought a new lawn mower this weekend, as the grass was getting a little out of hand and I apparently did not start craigslisting nearly early enough to get a deal. I settled on a pretty basic gas push mower that does mulching and rear bagging. At the time I thought I got a fairly reasonable deal, since self-propelled mowers were significantly more expensive.
But then I came to work this morning, and found out that for only $70 more (disregard the price in this photo: I did not pay $250), Jon got a magic lawn mower that he definitely doesn’t have to push himself:
Elf-Propelled Lawn Mower
Woah, you own a lawnmower now? That’s a big step in home ownership! Next you might have to buy a house!
Also isn’t mowing the lawn something your landlord is supposed to do?
Yes, now that you have a lawnmower you might as well buy a house. I heard houses in WIsconsin are good and cheap.
Lease requires us to maintain the yard…
Houses in WI are a lot cheaper, like $175k cheaper: Cost of Moving Calculator. Definitely something to think about.
