We reached goal again this fortnight, with a bit of sacrifice. We did have a bit of money left in the account at the end of the fortnight, but the bulk ($200) of the remainder needed came from some cash I had sitting in my wallet to buy a piece of furniture we’ve been wanting since before we started this blog. We have a $500 voucher for a furniture store nearby after a purchase that was faulty, so we were aiming to buy something we will always keep. The cash was already set aside, so I thought it might be a nice last hurrah before the hard work started.
But the voucher remains valid for 7 more months so we’ll put that wish on hold for now. It’s more important to hit our goals, especially in these early stages.
So over the past month, we did indeed hit our goal of making mortgage payments totalling $6000!
So far, so good. It’ll be sooo much fun to update the totals on the top right at the end of the month!
