I’m marking this as finished, even though there is no actual tomato. I’m going to assume there will be!!

Doing okay...
21 months ago
I’ve definately been transferring 10% from every paycheck to savings, not all of it stays there, though. I’m doing pretty well with it, however, and see the balance rising rather than dipping down to nothing every month.
I need to be extremely dilligent with this from now on, as my husband and I will be working exclusively freelance starting the first week of April and there will be taxes to be paid at the end of the year. YIKES!
