In reply to SG. I like it :) Traveling is really good for the soul! (And for the brain! You learn so much!)

In 2015, I discovered travel hacking and have been hooked. I grew up poor and never really went anywhere so I’m concentrating on my bucket list (with a few recommendations from the kids — they want to go to Japan). That’s how I’ve been treating myself….I do want a couple of “newish” handbags that have been sitting in my ebay cart, but I can’t bring myself to spend the money.

I’m treating myself to home improvements and furnishings, for my upcoming new home. I’ll so love it when I get it.
The lovely kitchen and the automatic blinds are a big chunk of it… I’ve spent about €8k so far in down payments, and have a little more budgeted for the rest.
That’s the bulk of my savings now, except for the emergency fund. So quite a treat.

Haha..that’s what mine was too…the staircase going to the basement. Life is funny isn’t it. At one point you’re excited to get a new bicycle, then a new pair of Jordan’s, then a cool car, now…fun is doing home improvement projects and fixing things and looking back and saying…I did that myself and it’s much more satisfying than buying some fancy new overpriced shiny object that you won’t care about in a year.

In reply to Debbie. I'd say those are fair treats all around :)

In reply to GJ.

Totally!!

But how incredible that your ring covers *4* generations now!! So beautiful!! Imagine if your kids later inherited it and then added to it, and then their kids and their kids – you’d have one massively sentimental (and valuable) ring by the end, haha… I love that you did that with them so much :) Even just the fact that they are being *used* now vs taking up space.

In reply to Bryan. HAHAHA! Bryan, I've got a 16ish foot hallway leading to my basement I'm dreading getting on a ladder for, I cant do any of the corner work without risking my life or paying someone. Oh well, if I stop posting on here within a few weeks I guess you know what happened to me... although, I may just pre-paint some crown molding and shove it up there to minimize the amount of ladder time. If I can avoid caulking and make a solid attempt at a copped joint vs a mitered one, it could save a lot of time. that's a big IF though, in my experience all my crown has looked like garbage until it was caulked and painted.
