Well we renewed our lease for another year it is just to much hassle to move right now especially since we still have my mom and nephew living with us till they find a rental (has been 11 months) and it also gives us some time to save towards a house deposit and the rent only went up by $20pw. We also want to go through and declutter when they move out as my hubby can't do a lot of things that he use to since his cancer treatment so will sell a bunch of it...and my daughter is going to declutter as well as she has so much stuff and she is thinking of closing down her jewellry business as she has other interests now that take up more of her time.

We have switched banks now and that should make banking a little more secure than our last bank..they don't like to pay up if people are scammed etc and I don't trust that...so now with a bigger bank...and have our savings in another bank...will hopefully be debt free by end of year and then saving for a house deposit

also started using an investment app...see how that goes...wanting to learn how to invest now...so starting off small
