If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Why would I waste money on something that's perfectly functional?

Sure the kitchen has 1980s faux wood wainscoting. And yeah the linoleum flooring is a little dated. But it works. It's fine. It's homey. Its mine.

Why does it matter anyways?

The house was built in 1850, I'm lucky the last time it was updated was the 70s/80s.
