    Thanks @shell16! I think if I can achieve the goal I'll be really happy, but if not, at least I'll be close, and it's not so discouraging than if I'm chasing a target that I know I'll never reach. I feel more motivated now that it's more realistic 🤗.

    I'm concentrating on savings and sinking funds this year so that I don't have to rely on any form of credit.
