Your Budget & Your Wants

There is almost always a conflict between what you can
afford & what you want. Unfortunately the wants
usually outweigh the budget.

If you are planning an addition to your home then I
suggest you try this kind of a plan. Do a rough sketch
of what you want.

Don’t make the big mistake most people do. That is,
don’t make it too small. Be generous in your wants as
to size. If you have 5 kids & want a family room then 10’
X12’ isn’t going to be nearly big enough. There is no
point in spending a large sum of money & then find it
doesn’t do what you wanted it to do. As I point out in
my all my books the extra footage is very
cheap if you know how to buy it.

After you have determined size then add an absolute
minimum of everything you want. Forget, for a while,
the fireplace, skylights, bay window, hardwood flooring
etc   Add just the minimum that you can live with.

Remember, there are basics over which you have no
control. Foundation, framing, basic electric & heating
are built-in costs & there is no way around them. Many
are governed by building codes & cannot be changed
to make them less expensive.

However you do have control over everything else &
“everything else” encompasses hundreds of choices,
each one more or less expensive than the other.

If you were to get an estimate on only the basics
needed to build your dream room you would see that it
is much less expensive than you would have thought.

If the basics are lower than your budget then you can
get out your goody list & shop till you drop.
