Right now it has cooled down enough that the kids and Indigo are finally hungry. The kids have descended upon the kitchen like a plague of locusts. Leftovers, peanut butter, fruit and tuna fish are not safe. Around our neighborhood all the kitchen lights are burning with other residents raiding their own fridges. The season of the Midnight Snack has arrived.
Hubby and I have been talking houses again lately. We spoke with the bank and got pre-approved, so now we just need to sock away some more cash in the bank while we casually look at what is out there. We have tentatively talked about moving sometime between this fall and next summer. I’m leaning towards next summer as that gives us more time to put away more cash and pay down our debt more. If I remember correctly, the van should be paid off by the end of next summer, and we will almost definitely have at least one of the credit cards paid off by next summer also. I will breathe much easier when we are not so much slaves to the existing debts.
We also need to come to an agreement on where we want to move to. Hubby wants to be out away from the city, but not too far. I want to be away from the city far enough that the property taxes aren’t sky high, which is about 10 to 20 minutes further of a drive than Hubby prefers. I suppose it all depends on what we find, and where it is located as to what we will settle on. I have come to realize that I’m not going to be able to talk him into Alaska at this point, so I will have to shoot for that as our retirement move.
