My parents are retired and have been kicking around the idea of replacing their furnace all winter long, it's the same age as i am. I almost stroked out when they told me what their quote was (i think it was $12,000 and change). I could swing that if i absolutely had to, but I'd cry when i handed the check over.

Paying off 12-15k in a year at zero % would be like doubling your mortgage for most people I'd reckon.
