My husband and I are thinking of having our house carpeted. It's wood floor throughout and it's not very nice. But the main reason we'd like to carpet is that our 16 month old son keeps falling on it and hurting himself. I know it's normal to expect injuries when you have a toddler, but in the past 5 days he's busted his lip twice and gotten a huge knot on his head, simply by falling off toys or tripping when he walks. I can't stand over him all day to catch him if he falls. The problem is that we have about $1500 to put towards paying off debt, and it would take all of that, plus some probably to carpet about 750 sq. feet of our house. What would you do? Pay debt, or carpet? We are not in a bad financial situation now, we can make our monthly payments plus some, but not sure what to do with what we have saved now.
