Comment on [Weekly thread] Men over 30, how is your week going?

  I have a few extra expenses at the moment which are basically eating up that fun money and I’m still recovering from a year of my SO being careless with our credit card.

  Also, it’s not like I’m doing the ‘broke college student’ lifestyle, I do fairly well for myself and do get to indulge in some lavishness here and there. It’s just the mindset of each dollar spent that way is another one I need to earn later that really drags everything else down. My main issue is that I don’t really leave the house except for work, food, or other errands. Anything of that nature is a bit too large of a dent for me to even want to do without feeling buyer’s remorse afterward.

    Ugh. I hope you meet your goals soon.

      I’m saving about 1k a month. Which means I should be in the positive in another 5 months, and back to house ready in 15. There are two free weeks in a year though, so that helps with the bill cycles.

        That’s awesome! I don’t know what your region is, but it sounds like the Canadian (and US?) economy may be slowing down, so perhaps house prices will fall a bit by the time you’re ready to look.

        Best of luck.
