2011/2012 Financial Year.

Last year I did a post on our financial goals for this year, which you can find here. Our goal was to have the car loan paid off by 30th June 2012.

This was completely doable, and we were sticking to our goal, but after a few incidences, long discussions and a few headaches later, we decided to shift our priorities a little bit.

We had been wanting to completely fence off our yard, as we're on a sloping block which slopes down towards the road, and no matter how careful we are, kids, bikes and sloping driveways do not mix! So we agreed that getting the fence was a priority. So we saved up for it and got it done :)

We also decided to take the family on a long deserved holiday to the Gold Coast. We also saved up for that and treated ourselves to a beautiful, well needed getaway :)

We don't regret our decision at all, but it is a little disheartening to think that we could've been paying our last payment this month, but that's life :)

We're aiming for the car to be paid off by my birthday this year, which is 31st December.
