I would pass on the window replacement unless you have shitty leaky windows and just go room by room so you can do it progressivley. I am lucky and have double pans vinyl windows that were put in when I bought the place...but if I had the wood windows I would probably spend it.
I have the original aluminium frame 1/16" glass windows that were construction grade made in 1987. They're drafty as all hell and although don't leak, they are far from adequate in terms of sound and weather insulation.
Total cost for this round of windows should be about 5k. The next round will finish off the house at about 6k (including converting a window to a slider)
