I’m wondering if I should buy a new dishwasher the next time sales come around. DH says, reasonably, that our 1987 dishwasher is still working. But our range, refrigerator and microwave broke down and needed replacing. Should I act before inflation and get a new dishwasher?

If the purchase is affordable, (and I suspect it is,) and it improves your life experience, why not? Do you have other goals for the money? At some point, one needs to go into spend mode or risk simply leaving you hard earned funds to others.

IMO, dishwashers have improved greatly since 1987. That would be something I would splurge on. They also tend to be much more environmentally friendly these days, and could cut your utility bills. Your choice though!
