Thanks all - I am really proud of what we have achieved together.That's really good congrats! What are you going to do with that money now?
In terms of what we will now spend the money on, since we got rid of H's last debt we got married, so we spent some of the money on that and having a fantastic honeymoon
(3.5 weeks in Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong). The rest of the money has been being saved so we can afford for me to take maternity leave if we manage to start a family.
The next stage is moving to a bigger house and we had an offer accepted on somewhere we love yesterday. The fact we don't have the debts to service means the larger mortgage isn't worrying us as it is still less than we were throwing at our debts.
Good luck to everyone - it can be a long slog but it is worth it.MFIT No. 810 -
FAB! I love Hong Kong, congrats on the house too!Getting there... A deal at a time. :T0
