In a previous article, Jay Honeck said:
The worst thing about Oshkosh is that my wife spent $30,000 remodeling our
kitchen so I have no money for taking a week off work this year.

$30K for a KITCHEN?

Shoot, we remodeled the entire first floor lobby of the hotel for
$12K. (Of course, we did all the work ourselves. Cheapest
contractor-built quote: $50K)

Yeah, but I bet you didn't get custom soapstone counter tops (but at least
I got to fly down to New Jersey so we could pick out the slabs) or Mission
style cupboards.

I hope you get to eat at home every night and really get to enjoy it.
Sadly, if you're like our family, it's rare that the stove ever gets
turned on...

It was her mother who died and left us the money, so I don't get much say
in how it gets spent. I kept telling her that I could get a Cessna 180 on
straight floats for not much more than that, but she didn't listen.
