Living without your dishwasher

I had a dishwasher for 22 years and it really spoiled me. I don't have one now because this house has never had one and there's no room for it anyway unless I tear out some drawers/cupboards. But I live by myself so keeping up with the dishes isn't too bad. I'd love to have a dishwasher but I really can't justify the expense just for me!

I don't use a dishwasher all that much. I have one, but I mostly wash dishes by hand anyway unless I am just feeling too lazy to wash the dishes. I could live with out it.

I've been doing dishes for 6 people with an ocassional 7th person for over 2 years.
