Today was Jordan's payday (I LOVE that we get paid on opposite weeks). The house fund went up another $150 and is now at $2203.53. Slowly but surely we will make it to our goal - we're at 6.30% so far!
The House Fund may also turn into a renovations fund or continue to be the down payment fund - depending on how financing works out.
