I have 2 main savings goals. 1 is a $5k emergency savings fund and 2 is $20k for a house purchase in 5 years. The houses I’ve been eyeing are in the $30-70k range.
I also made a spontaneous decision on my birthday to go see a beach. I’m 38 and I haven’t had a proper vacation before. The room is $650 for 6 nights and train fare $250. I have $200 in supplies queued with Amazon. A co-worker is cat sitting for free. I’m going with a broke friend so we’ll be eating on the cheap and mostly chilling on the shore/at nature reserves. I’ll be using paid vacation time.
But I’m having second thoughts because my focus is back on the house and saving money. Do I keep or skip the vacation? I could push it back a year or two.
I can’t cut my spending because I already live cheaply.
