Trying to get to normal

September 21st, 2009 at 04:52 pm

Its harder than it seems after a break in. I decided that instead of waiting, I would get the few items I need to feel normal in my house. The rule is, do I care if I have spent this money if tomorrow all my stolen goods are returned. I am also basing this off of what I can afford, not what the insurance will pay.

As a result, things do feel back to normal now. Obviously I haven't replaced everything but I have enough key items to feel like its my home and I can do things. I also have some security measures in place that can limit my losses if something like this happens again.

I figure my total costs before insurance to be $2500. This includes upgrading items that have reached obsolescence (most of which couldn't be replaced with exact even if I wanted to, not available anymore). Course if I tried to replace everything, it would be considerably more but I think I will be fine with this.

This may or may not set me back. There are a lot of items I will not be replacing so that cash value will be put towards what is replaced. (We have replacement cost insurance but if you don't replace, than its actual cash value).

Ah the joys.
