Last night when I asked my husband how much money he wanted to have in savings before we move, he said he didn't know because he didn't have enough time to think about it. I was firm when I told him I NEED to move as soon as possible, and I NEED to know we're working towards that goal…

He did give me a number, and it's not unreasonable, but I don't know how long it will take us to get there. We were able to put some money away recently. I think we can maintain what we we have, but I don't know how much, or how quickly, we can build on that.

He mentioned buying vs. renting, but that's not realistic because we would be here FOREVER trying to save at least DOUBLE the amount of money that he wants to save now… I'll keep playing the lottery… and maybe we should go to the casino and hit the roulette tables… lol.


I have abandoned the e-cigarette and been smoking regular butts for over a week now. I don't plan on giving up though, so I guess I have a New Year's resolution on my hands…
I may have more reason to quit soon, as I'm having pulmonary function tests done January 4th because I probably have COPD.
