My friend is the kind of person that has to take the time to show you every cool new thing that they have in their house.
- He doesn’t understand that we don’t always care about the new this or that that he recently purchased, but to be nice to him, we always look.
I guess my biggest struggle is that he is able to afford all of the nicer things that I wished that I had. Recently, he was showing me the new furnace that he had in his house. His furnace was about a decade old, and he decided to call the HVAC technician to install a new furnace for him. His furnace was in spotless condition because the same HVAC technician had been inspecting and maintaining the furnace ever since he purchased it. However, since he felt that he would be able to save more money with a new furnace, he purchased one on the spot. Since he was getting a new furnace, he also decided to add a few more vents in the rooms that had a little draft. I was happy that my friend got a new furnace, but I was also jealous at the same time. His old furnace was at least 10 years newer than the furnace that was currently in my house, but there was no way that I was going to be able to afford a new furnace for my house. I wish that I could just have his old furnace, which would have been a lot nicer than the furnace I currently use.
