A while back, Jordan and I went on a bit of a spending spree and aquired some household things that we would need given the changes to the household.
We bought a couch, a chair, a tv stand, a souround sound system, new pots and pans, some home decor, and a few kitchen odds and ends (popcorn popper, gravey boat, cups, mugs)...i think that about coveres it.
Right before we did this, we had broken the $5,000 threshold. Given the total balance in our account new, we owe ourselves $1,549.67, or $774.84 each.
We had put all of our old, used, couches up for sale as well as one of our fishtankes when we downsized from three to two.
I'm please to say that we have now sold one couch and a coffee table for $50. I've deposited that money into our house fund. So we now owe ourselves $1,499.67, or about $750 each.
It seems like a lot, but between now and the time we receive our tax returns, we'll get it all paid back. Aside from selling the things above that I mentioned (which will probably net us around $300-$500), we'll focus on this once we get through Christmas.
