Welcome to How To Money. I'm Joel and I'm Matt and today we're discussing whether it's better to renovate or move.

Alright Matt, I'm really looking forward to tackling this topic today because you're in the middle of a renovation. I walked up to your house to record this evening and there are piles of lumberies in front of you hard.

I feel like we have a lot to say. Yeah the woods there they just got to haul it off. It was extra wood. We're going to return it because we didn't use it. There you go. Yeah. Gotta get that money back. Yeah man.

Alright before we get to the topic of renovation though have you noticed my sweet new haircut? You look a little less shabby. I will say yeah you're looking sharp man.

Well I wanted to tell everyone that I got a free haircut and I've been getting free haircuts for quite some time now. You also get free haircuts. We'll talk about that in one second.

But I go to this program that supercuts runs they retrain their stylists every couple of years or so and so those stylists that are being retrained need to give haircuts to practice the things that they've learned.

Practice their craft right and so I sign up and I probably need a haircut. I don't know every six to eight weeks or so and so I'll go just up the street from where I work and I'll get a free haircut and so today.

Nice. Got another free haircut looks pretty smooth. Feeling fresh. Yeah and I got to tell you some days are better than others.

When I go there. Yeah I can assess to that because there's been some time to see where you've come back and like your your hair is trimmed next to your ears like all the way up almost to like the top of your ear.

I look a little dumb and dumb orish or something like that. Oh man that's making me think of dental work. You can do the same thing with dental work right.

I remember growing up in Augusta, Georgia and they've got a dental school there that you could go and get your teeth cleaned for free by a dental hygienist.

They're practicing their craft and what a free awesome way to get your teeth cleaned which might be something I know our listeners would like to hear me do because I got some flat for not going to the dentist every I don't know six months or something whatever some folks do.

Yeah so maybe find a free place to go get your teeth clean. I will report back but when it comes to haircuts though man yeah I've cut my own hair for the past over 20 years now like ever since I was a kid basically my mom messed up one time because she used to cut my hair and she screwed it up.

I was so upset at her I told her I was like you're never going to come my hair again because I was an angsty preteen I'm sure and yeah for the past over 20 years now I've had a little hair cutting kit and I've cut my own hair and I've actually cut your hair too like at the beach you have yeah yeah and it was what you think decent it was solid yeah I'm not going to lie it was good I would do it again I would do it again I would rather have you cut my hair than paper haircut I'll tell you that boom and and so I'll tell everyone I'm mad props coming from my co-host.

So I'll put a link in the show notes to to the program there it's nationwide and you can find a super cut center near you where they retrain people and so if you're like me and you don't like paying for haircuts you prefer to get it for free and I will say there's a slight trade off right after drive just to touch further in order to get this haircut.

The second trade off is the complete feeling of insecurity that's bubbling up inside of me while my hair is being cut it's you're like what am I going to look like walking out of here exactly is that worth the stress and it just it also it takes quite a bit longer I feel like because the person that's in charge has to oversee and make sure that the person's doing it well so it's going to take you a little bit longer to get your haircut.

Did they get graded like on the spot?

No, but they are correcting them as they go and like pointers and whatnot tips and tricks all that kind of stuff yes, but I found it to be worth it and it's actually it's kind of fun I kind of like the people there at this point so yeah but just word of the wise if you're in fine to place near you and if you don't know of one check out our show notes for this episode you'll you'll see the link for the article I wrote about the many places around the country where you can get a free haircut.

Yeah, and I'll mention to that this isn't going to be for everyone right like some people are going to value having their hair cut by their stylist or someone who knows them really well and knows exactly what they like you know my old roommate in college he was one of those guys that would pay a good bit of money to get to this nicer salon like John Edward style 400 something dollars for her.

Yeah, not quite but he did go to this hit place down sound Athens and what he told me was that my hair is the only thing I wear every single day if I spend you know some money on a nice pair of jeans

and I wear those almost every day why wouldn't I spend some decent money on a haircut.

Flood logic I don't agree that's that was his approach and lie wear a hat.
