Considering possibly getting a stairlift installed. Very steep staircase with 14 stairs. On a good day I can run up, on a mediocre day I struggle up, and on a bad day I'm crawling up.

The "problem" is I don't need it all the time. But on bad or medicore days it would sure make my life much easier.

It would cost me $3300 to get one installed. This would be 100% out of pocket as I don't qualify for any funding. As long as I get a prescription I can use it as a tax write off as an allowable medical expense. It would cost me way more money to move to a bungalow and the upheaval of selling and moving would be very hard on me. I would have a hard time selling in this market anyway.

At what point would you consider getting a stairlift worth it? Needing it 10 days out of a month? Or would you only consider it worth it if you needed it almost constantly?
