I just can't believe it

December 4th, 2007 at 04:12 am

Since I have joined this site I have been able to get my finances in order. I can't not believe that I am almost at $7000 saved. Just sitting there, I just can not believe. I am positive that there are a number of you who has three times as much but this is a big accomplishment for me I can't ever remeber saving so much money and not only that I can actually see my dreams of owning a home next year coming true, as long as I stay on the same path

I am just excited I WANT TO SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!

    As I look at your tally on the left, I'm curious to know what you're going to use the money for? Is your $7k currently in a savings account or have you been applying to the debts a you have went along?

    Congrats Amber! Looks like you are saving $12K toward a new home? If you want to feel great, compare your situation to mine: I'm also 33, I bought a place nearly 5 years ago, but instead of saving for it, I borrowed $12K from my dad to cover the down payment. I still owe him $7K, so in 5 years I've only paid off $5K of that. In less than 2 years, you've saved $7K. Unbelievable!

    THANKS EVERYONE Smile
    Threebeensalad, last year i used the money to pay off debt. This year it's all for my house, however I do plan on taking some cash out to pay off CCs if i do not get another bonus.

    Ceejay, think of it this way you are not paying interest and you hae paid almost half...I think that is great SmileI guess what I am saying is be proud that you are able to repay and want to...good luck

    Thanks Meager, unfortunately I have not been following this year's football season

    Good for you!

    Instead of a debt snowball you have a savings snowball.

    Congratulations! I once heard saving is a lot like exercise. It's hard to get motivated to do it but the more you do it the more addictive it becomes. Very true!

    You have come a long ways in the past year on your financial journey and certainly deserve to be PROUD of your accomplishments. You are an inspiration to others for sure!! Keep it up and homeownership will be a realized dream before you know it!!!
