I think I can do this...

We live pretty modestly, despite a pretty major bump in circumstances about a year and a half ago. Until recently, we just used the slush cash- mainly on house items, tools, etc. I just can’t help thinking there is a smarter way to manage things- more planned, more organized. We have savings, but I think we can do a hell of a lot better, and damnit, I don’t want to be working in an office in 5 years, so I’ve been planning.
I set up a direct deposit on paydays to just move this money into savings- now all I have to do is not touch it, no matter how badly I want a reciprocating saw.

My daughter and I, we totally took this one on- sanded the walls, painted, built shelving- it was madness. It took us a weekend, but it’s finally done, except for new flooring and trim—- but hey, it’s organized, and that’s the most important bit. It is so good to have this finally taken care of.
