sounds like plans went smoothly, and your house improvements also sound amazing.Here’s my check in:
-The new French doors to the patio look amazing and have been paid for
-The new front door and sidelites have totally changed the look of the house as you come up around the curve of the driveway and have been paid for
-The solar panels are well worth it, especially now that I’m working from home and my girls are doing full time remote learning
-We took on an unexpected project this summer and decided to finish off part of our basement so we raided our savings and pulled together a big lounge space that holds all of the kids’ American Girl dolls and the DIY AG dollhouse and a massive sectional that used to be in the playroom. We also created a separate 10x10 classroom workspace for the girls.
-I sold the beach house that used to be my little bungalow before my husband and I got married. We are taking on the last big projects for our house with that money: 18x16 sunroom and 70 ft long front porch. Fingers crossed this project is done in time for Christmas! This will be paid for from the proceeds from selling the house.
-DVC contract remaining on the credit card at 0% is getting closer but should have been fully paid off already. Life got in the way with the basement project and derailed my plans a bit. But I’m still aiming for December as the payoff. The card is 0% until 5/2021 but I just want it paid off ASAP.
-Oh and I’m done Christmas shopping so that should help me avoid spending extra money.
I'm about to do the same, that is stock up on pantry items.Plugging along here. was planning on paying a big chunk on debt with overtime money this check but spent some of it stocking up on baking supplies and other pantry staples for the winter. Still paid extra on the debt just not as much as we were planning on.
Paying extra payments on the car this year has got it so far down, where I'm just going to go ahead, move from savings and pay the rest off next month after this month's payment pulls. Also, doing a few days at WDW this December. That was not planned, talked about it this weekend, and decided to do it. Have the airmiles and the tickets already from our last cancelled trip in April. The remainder portion of those tickets, since we won't use all the days in Dec., will use in March if we still go, if not have to use by Sep, so there is time.
@pblack did you decide what to do in place of the cancelled cruise?
