Today we got our bond back and our aggressive savings plan has begun in ernest. This year will be the year of building a warchest plus a few adventures along the way. The plan is to save a house deposit (20%) by the end of 2009. With both myself and Mrs Smith in very good jobs and our muses coming along nicely we should be in a great place.
As we have eliminated much of the costs of living in a rental property as well as the associated costs we have already got quite a lot of momentum. We are also keen to do a trip/s overseas. Keen to drop in a surf trip to Fiji soon and maybe a trip to Europe later in the year. It is truly amazing to discover how much money you actually have when you don't pay rent or a mortgage!
