Under $15k mark

As of Friday 30th March 2012, we are officially under the $15k mark on our car loan. We're not quite half way yet, but I'm thrilled to have made it to this amount.

One of our financial goals for this year was to completely pay out the car loan.

We originally wanted to pay it out by the end of this financial year (30th June 2012), but we have now given ourselves to 31st December 2012. Reason being - our yard slopes towards the road, and no matter how careful or quick we are, toddlers, toys and sloping yards towards roads do not mix. So we have decided to fully fence the yard so our kids can play safely, in turn, the car will be paid out at a later date.
