Welcome to a new fund post!
I sat down with my husband, explained that I’d hit the last goal, and that we needed to figure out something new to save for. I’m not going to lie, I fully expected him to say something like “We could coupon to pay off the van.” (although I have a plan for that) or “We could save for something boring and adult because we’ve got several trips backlogged at this point”. Which is also understandable.
When I say his idea shocked me y’all- it really shocked me.
“Well,” he said, “Miss Bongo has always wanted to go to Paris. We could start saving for that.”
Wait, SAY WHAT? We’ve floated the idea of going to France in the future- completely with a Disneyland Paris trip of course, but we had wanted to wait until Miss Bongo was a little older- and had a flight or two under her belt. However, with a Disneyland trip, a WDW trip and a Toronto trip all pushed, it makes perfect sense to start saving now! This will probably run us significantly more than most of our trips- the Euro is currently stronger than the dollar, as is the pound in Britain. My dream is to make this a two week adventure- if I had my druthers we would just move to Europe for a summer, but alas, I’m making pennies out here, so you know that’s not a possibility right now!
Right now I’m in the planning stage- getting a VERY loose idea of flights. Very loose estimate of the cost of Disneyland Paris and of course we’ll go overboard on eating and shopping. We’ll have to figure out how we’re going to get around while there, how long we can and want to go- and where! I’d love to see England. I desperately want to go to Germany. So many ideas are flying! How many days, where will we spend them, what will we see and do? My mind is overwhelmed right now.
If you’ve ever been to Disneyland Paris, I’d absolutely love to hear some of your tips or must dos!
This was another huge earning week for me. I’ve been selling collectibles on Mercari and I’ve got to say- I’m really pleased with the prices I’m getting! I am still keeping collectibles that I really love, but some items I held onto “just because” they were part of a group or I had them, or whatever. Those are the ones I’m letting go. Be sure to research your price, I’ve seen folks sell items for significantly less than the prices I am getting, simply because they didn’t do due diligence on the market. I’m also happy to let my items sit for a while. There is no great rush to sell so I can wait for the right buyer, even if that means I wait a month or longer.
