Getting a good night’s sleep
Back in 1972 I worked for a big name furniture chain that I think is now out of business. One of the biggest benefits of working there was being able to buy furniture at a discount, which was great because I had just moved out on my own and needed everything! One of the biggest surprises to me about my discount was how much of a mark-up there is on a mattress and box spring set! I was able to buy a brand new top-of-the-line set that was retail price of $800 for only $150. And that included the delivery and set-up! Well, I don’t need to tell you that getting a good night’s sleep is important, but you should be really careful and smart about buying furniture.
Learn as much as you can to get the best value for your money. So you won’t lose any sleep later on when you find out that you could have gotten a better deal somewhere else!
