soo proud of us

our savings is looking so good. After moving in March, we have a really good cushion set aside. A nice healthy amount in short term savings, that can be used for emergencies, for trips, or for stuff we need. A really good amount in long term savings (saving toward a house!!). Just started an "extra" savings account for money that is left over at the end of the week. And now that our savings are both at good places, I can start buying some CDs for longer term savings. (Buy a six-month cd, then transfer that to a 9 or 12 month one with a higher interest rate and buy a new six month cd at the same time.)

My parents financial situation scares the hell out of me, because they weren't smart, they didn't save for the future and now they really don't have any money set aside. I am so glad we have learned how to change our relationship with money. I am so proud of us for all the work we did to get here!!
