Well I can't believe we are almost at the end of 2025...this year has just flown by...so that means working on next years budget, we had a few changes this year so budget took a bit more work. So we became debt free, we still use CC but it is paid off each month. Hubby sold his car and got a scooter, so we have no more car expenses but we will pay half of our daughters since she does our appointments/errands etc more now, but that still cuts it way down. I paid all our bills for a year in august so many wont be due till sept 2026.....so I have a lofty goal to save $40k towards a house next year, I really want to save $50k but also want it to be reachable...so starting with $40k...love working towards goals. We will also have a move next year hopefully by march (at latest).
Daughter has surgery today...the hottest day of the year so far (102) and has to stay in overnight, I dont like that idea at all but know she will be fine. Other than that we have been decluttering and getting stuff done as we can...cant believe it is a week till christmas...although we still dont have our tree up yet should get around to that before christmas Im sure 😬

There was a time I considered getting a scooter but decided against it. I guess your rainfall/snowfall amounts are less than here so I could see where it could make more sense.
Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery.

LAL 2025 was all about becoming debt free so wasn't able to save much at all...so now that we have no debt we can save a lot more
Patient saver we dont get snow where we live and public transport is pretty good here so can go most places on a mobility scooter but if he does need to drive he still can...and because our daughter will do most of the driving we will pay half her car costs
