Last night while we were waiting at the car dealership, H remarked that he's happy we have our e-fund and baby fund in separate accounts, and that it made him more comfortable using our general savings to fund our goals. This, coming from a man who in January had to be convinced of the benefits to separating the funds. MM win! Last week he also said something that made me proud, something that I learned on this board and talked to him about, if only I could remember what it was lol!
We have you, the MM board, to thank for these ideas! I've learned so much from all of you and have truly taken on a new, smarter way of viewing money and making it work for us. We still have a lot to learn, progress to make, and goals to meet in becoming more MM, but our whole mindset has changed in that we view what we do with our money in terms of our bigger picture goals. In our experience, changing our attitude has been invaluable in reaching our goals.
Also, this month we've accomplished two of our major goals to complete before starting to TTC: a renovated full bathroom and a crossover SUV.
Re: AW: Proud MM Moments
Congrats on your goals!
I have also learned a lot from being on here...very helpful advice.
What I've learned from this board is to be more mindful about what I am spending money on. And how to best prioritize my financial goals and metering out what I spend where.
I occasionally mention you all to my H when there is an interesting discussion we are all having. Or when there is a good money tip I want to share. With booking our trip to Boston, I was sharing with him what was recommended by some of the regs from here for that area.
So, I get home a couple nights ago and he laughs and says, "I cyberstalked you." I thought he was referring to the Real Estate Investing board I frequent, because I know he goes on there every once in awhile, but he was actually talking about this one! I was surprised, this really isn't his cup of tea, but thought it was funny. He wanted to read the responses on my travel post.
