So I'm all moved in and trying to get settled into my humble abode. Although this has been a stressful chapter it's also been very rewarding.
The first lesson I've learned is: you will literally bleed green from closing until the first mortgage payment so be prepared to let your savings go.
It seems that everyday I am writing another check, swiping another card (debit over credit of course), and making a list of future items to purchase, desired upgrades, and connection fees.
It's been hard to part with my hard earned money; mainly because I've worked hard to earn it. But also because my savings account looked AMAZING as I stacked for these moments- so why is it so hard to willingly let them go?!
I recall days along my savings plan that I would simply look at my banking statement; partially as motivation to keep sacrificing things daily for its growth and partially to reflect on how I was slowly reaching my goal.
So now for these stacks to not only have their growth stunned but also to see more depletion of them is very hard. This is what I must remember: although my "nest-egg" is a bit dwindled the assets around me are growing.
