Our Down Payment :D

This blog will cover lots of things, namely what we're doing in our lives to make "all our dreams come true" :-P As I've already said, the #1 thing on our list is to buy our own home. YAY! :D
So I guess it's only fair that I tell you how far along we are in the process. Well, you better hold onto your socks cus this just might knock them off! As of today, April 30th, 2010, we have a whopping $22 towards our down payment!!!!! I know, I know... Watch out real estate market, HERE WE COME!

In all seriousness, we literally are starting over again. From the VERY beginning. We've had to drain our previous fund and we're starting from scratch. It stinks, but what're you gonna do?

For those of you who may be wondering, our down payment/ home account is going to be its own seperate fund... Money goes in, but it does not come out. And the idea is that, literally, every extra penny will go towards our future home. That's how I, personally, save for things. And it works for me. I've done it many different ways before (in piggy banks, envelopes, bank accounts, etc) but the point is that this system works. Setting one thing aside and throwing all your spare change and extra cash into that one fund works. Pretty simple.

So that's where we're at... $22. You see why I call this CHASING the American Dream? ;)
