It's kind of funny, actually. Ever since I moved out of my parents house, I've had this goal that someday I would have $10,000 to my name. To some that is measly, to some that's immense, but to me it's always been this dollar amount that I know would make feel financially secure... should anything come up, I would be able to take care of it.
Today. Today was payday. Today is that day. I officially have $10,000 to my name.
Tomorrow. Tomorrow I close on my new mortgage, at which point at least $3,000 will be ripped from my hands, not to mention a higher monthy mortgage payment from now on.
Wow. How fucked is this?
It's ok though, I'm still happy that I made it. Maybe I'll make it again in 5 more years...
