Buying carpet these days is very confusing...and very expensive, and I would like some opinions on the best way to pay for it.
We don't have a huge house any more, thank goodness, but to replace the original carpet that was installed when it was built 20 years ago is going to be around $4,000. This is not the cheapest carpet but it's not top of the line either. We've had 2 different local carpet installers come out and measure and give us prices.
What I'd like to know is.....should we take that money out of savings, or finance with 0% interest for 24 months, or does this qualify as home improvement for a home equity loan (and is it worth it to do that???) ?
Thanks.
