Today I took a major step toward realizing that homebuying dream. I started hiding money from myself so that I could come up with a substantial down payment within the year. I’ve promised myself to put $500 away each pay period for the rest of the year so that I can have at least 12K for the down payment by the end of the year – I may not do it really, but a couple grand is better than nothing. I did my studying for a CD scheme to squirrel away the money so that I don’t see it any more in my active checking account — where I happily would spend it without even one thought. I am sometimes pretty bad at the saving thing. I am pretty bad at the saving thing pretty much all the time. Oh well, I’ll let you know what I finally come up with. I live for good news updates.
In other news, I started working out at a very new gym today. Much closer than the other gym I was going to (by a whole 10 blocks) but I can go to the gym at 5am and get back in time to shower and start my day. With the old gym I was doing the evening workout thing and after a couple weeks at a time I would just grow tired of doing it. I used to be so good working out and over the years it has started being a drag. I really need to find some new stimulation to get me back in the grove. Getting my muscles to pop always does it…so they better pop real quick otherwise that gym might become a bygone companion as well.
