Tip #205: Renovate!

April 1, 2011 By Robin Murray 2 Comments

Retirement Yenta has been preparing her NYC home for her impending retirement. Yes, that’s right, dear Readers, Retirement Yenta has a “new kitchen.” The past few years, Retirement Yenta has upgraded different parts of her home and the goal in her process is to upgrade her home to something that feels like a luxury hotel. Once she has finished, your dear little Yenta is going to follow through with her master plan to retire to Miami Beach (and tell no one–so she can continue to work) and she can rent her NYC home and make a buck or two while she’s sitting on the beach. Now, while this impending retirement is a little ways away, your dear Yenta wants to enjoy her home before the big move. With this in mind, Retirement Yenta says: “Upgrade your home. Renovate! Then you can sit in the sun and acclimate (to retirement, that is).”

    I’m planning my kitchen renovation! Bathroom done first 2+ years ago. Can’t wait to gut the kitchen, then go to my island home with BF.
