I was only able to afford the home I am in because it was a fixer-upper. There was a ton of work, but thankfully, we did not use all of our savings buying the house. This left us with enough money to do some renovations after the sale went through. Admittedly, we could have easily gone with the bedrooms, but I wanted our kitchen and dining area to look spectacular. I do not pay full price, so I found these awesome discounted kitchen cabinets to start.
