Something I know SO many are striving to do ~ we paid off the "fantastic plastic" in full! That's little piece of plastic, found fitting neatly in many a wallet across the nation, often many varieties mixed in together with no discrimination ~ but much abuse and mistreatment! Our VISA is ZERO'd and the limit lowered!
Barely 5 years ago, our dear CeeCee was up in the 5 figure range and sadly the first number was not a 1 and often it was up within cents of its maximum, regularly actually. But for two years now we have been single income and the only debt we have is our mortgage! Is that not perfect?
AND we have savings ~ and the account is only going up! Sure, it will take a beating when we have our holiday in Queensland, but that was the purpose of saving.
We bought a water tank!
What is the point in trying to grow vegetables when, taking away the access to tap water due to drought, you dont have access to water. Sure, we've had the little tank at the front of the house, but I cannot cart it ~ hard enough to pour the watering can sometimes.
Plus we are looking at having insulation put through the roof to keep heat in the house a heck of a lot better that we have been. Although there is only a little more than a month left to the financial year end, we might even see if we cant get the paperwork in for solar panels. Might have the initial outlay ~ but the savings just will end up to be massive!
