There was two payday in March, so we managed to put in more into the mortgage, it is now under $140K. Also topped up the Emergency Fund to $10K, Goal #5 is now done. I decided to put more money into here because there is some changes that is coming up in DH work and just in case we need it. The $10K is in various saving accounts that are easily accessible. Also managed to put a small amout of money to the household fund and holiday fund, this always makes me happy.
And before I foget to update this again, we put in $89 into the exercise challenge/xmas fund.
NSD: Feb = 10 and Mar = 8.
$180 towards my sunny day savings.
