Wow 22 Feb already, what's going on! Time is flying by way too quickly. So I thought before I forget for another 8 weeks, I'd better do an update on our goals:
Wedding - The big update since my last post of this style is that we got engaged on Valentines Day (yay!). We're planning a big engagement party for July 2011, and will surprise our family with a wedding! The plans are afoot, getting our heads around the budget is the first cab off the rank! Oh and an engagement ring, we're meeting with a jeweller who is a friend of Mr Mel's father, so hopefully a lovely (and not to pricey) ring around the corner!
Mortgage - We bought our home in July 2009, We're aiming to have our mortgage paid off in 7 years from starting out, which would make it July 2016.
Update - We're on month 20 of our mortgage, and we're on track, we've got 58.27% equity in our home.
Other debt - Our total non mortgage debt includes a car loan (as part of mortgage package, at same interest rate), and a VISA we've since closed. Our aim is to have all of this debt paid off by mid 2015.
Update - Compared to when we started back in July 2009, we're sitting at approx 62.90% non mortgage debt gone, which is great. We have paid off the VISA, and are still happy with having our money in the offset against the mortgage, not sitting in the car, however are always reviewing. Looking like we'll have it paid off well before aim of mid 2015.
Weight - As per other updates, my weight covers a few areas, getting healthy & fit, getting my body in the right place to conceive (and fit in a near 'normal' wedding dress!!).
Update - Have been on the warpath since early Feb, results have been slow, but looking at joining Curves for a 5 month attack leading into our wedding!!
Business - In Feb 2010 Mr Mel gave up his job in Sydney to have a go at turning his hobby into a business.
Update - Mr Mel's business is growing steadily, we met with our accountant recently and he was happy with progress, which was good to hear. Looking at another part to the business in early/mid 2011, we have registered the business name and websites, but will get stuck into that again after July.
