3 Weeks Into Our 2 Year Plan And It's Going Well

So, it's only been 3 weeks, I would have thought it had definitely been a month or more. I am excited. Amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.

Our 2 year plan is to have our bills paid up and to move down to Waterloo, on Lake Greenwood, with the idea that hubby can just go out on the lake with his fishing rod, and enjoy the peacefulness, in his down time since he has more than a decade to go before he can retire.

Last week, I cleared one bill. It is now gone, vamoosed,no more! Feels good. I have less than $100 owing on a medical bill, but unfortunately that is about to rise again since they recalled me for another mammogram and possibly sonogram, next week. I'm not looking forward to it, nor the extra expense ... another bill!

I have also budgeted for different aspects of our lives, different things that may crop up, and am putting money towards them each week, even if only $5 or $10 on some.There are so many things to consider. Vehicle repairs, emergencies, medical bills, plus things like "the building" once we find our perfect spot. 

We have a cabin type building which is already paid off, and will become our bedroom

but I am looking into getting a second one that is slightly larger and different, and having a kitchen and bathroom in there, joined by a simple connecting passageway. Since I am now so disabled, this will enable us to ensure everything suits me needing walker or wheelchair space, and sitting space in my kitchen to be able to cook, wash dishes etc, and to have the upper cupboards installed lower to accommodate my lack of being able to stand upright and reach.

The one I am looking into for that purpose is

which is very roomy. Everything on one level, kind of "tiny house" but it's just us now. Just simpler for us, now that we are older.

I am excited. Obviously, depending on where we find our "perfect spot" we may also need to have a septic tank put in, well dug, etc and the electrical and plumbing would need to be done originally by a professional. But this is what we are now working towards.

Meanwhile, I am decluttering and taking a lot of stuff to the Salvation Army. We handed in the tag from our Land Rover the other day and during hubby's 4 day weekend next week (which he may make into a 5 day event by taking a vacation day) he'll get it cleaned up so that Goodwill can come and take it. I loved my Land Rover, but now that I cannot walk enough to open and close the gate, we no longer need 2 vehicles, and somebody else may as well have the benefit of my beloved Sebastian, and we'll take the tax break.

I'm also packing and buying for our new place. LOL. What was to be my new AVON room, won't be now, sadly. It will end up stacked with boxes of things to go with us. You may laugh, but this will take me the 2 years to do all this.

Have an awesome day. I am. Happy Friday!
