25.01.2022 Welcome to MORTGAGE SMASHIN MONDAY!!. . To date our goal of paying the mortgage off in 5yrs has been pretty slow going .. so to finally see the numbers move substantially is a real win in our house!!. . We are not to fussed about the amount we pay off each month but more about how much we still owe ... I currently feel like we throw $20 a day into the bin for the interest we pay ... $20 a day could feed our family and we are giving it to the bank!! Not cool .... . If you are paying you a mortgage or looking for a little motivation to smash your mortgage whilst interest rates are low...pop your account below and we can motivate each other!!. . . #firemovement #freecommunity #buildingwealth #retirement #retirementdreams #savingmoneyonfood #lowinterestrates #traveller #savingscommunity #savingmoney #mortgagemotivation #frugalliving #ozdebtfreejourney #ozdebtfreecommunity #stepmumlife #payingoffdebt #debtfreeliving #debtfreeby45 #debtfreeby2025 #fifo #smashthemortgage #mortgagepayoff #sacrificetosucceed See more
24.01.2022 One of my favourite motivators is seeing our interest PAID & CHARGED grow and fall. . Savings ... with all happening in our lives atm I am just happy to still be able to be getting some interest paid on our Savings sooo it’s not going up but still I am excited for what we got!. . We are currently working a plan to have a little bit of dividends paid to us each month ... I am still yet to find one that suits our portfolio that pays in AUGUST ... I am sure one will pop up so...on!. . FINALLY..our main focus is still the mortgage but once again has slowed down until the second house has sold .. I added our daily cost on the last slide showing is super slowly going but we are definitely getting there ... $20 a day is a day is still very significant . . We have a few years of this left .... but good to see our hard work slowly paying off!. . #ozdebtfreecommunity #numbersgame #firemovement #freecommunity #buildingwealth #retirement #retirementdreams #savingmoneyonfood #budgetplanner #savingscommunity #savingmoney #frugalliving #ozdebtfreejourney #ozdebtfreecommunity #stepmumlife #payingoffdebt #debtfreeliving #debtfreeby2025 #fifo #fifolife #sacrificetosucceed See more

20.01.2022 One of my favourite motivators is seeing the numbers grow and fall. . key for us at the minute is growing our savings so seeing the interest rise makes me . . we are currently working a plan to have a little bit of dividends paid to us each month ... ATM its April that is top heavy so that hopefully will grow in the other months over the coming yrs ... no rush there!.... . the house loan has stayed steady with the interest charged ... which is where we wanna be right now . . Once the ex’s financial seperation goes through we will be able to smash the mortgage lowering the interest charged... savings will drop as we focus on the mortgage.... . Can’t wait to see some real movement in these numbers!. . #ozdebtfreecommunity #numbersgame #firemovement #freecommunity #buildingwealth #retirement #retirementdreams #savingmoneyonfood #budgetplanner #savingscommunity #savingmoney #frugalliving #ozdebtfreejourney #ozdebtfreecommunity #stepmumlife #payingoffdebt #debtfreeliving #debtfreeby2025 #fifo #fifolife #sacrificetosucceed See more
19.01.2022 One of my goals for the month has been a No Spend Month... I knew when I signed up that we had some things planned but I still wanted to do it anyways to at least slow the spending down... so above I have my handy dandy no spend tracker... keeps me motivated . . To date we have had 12 no spend days .. 5 Allocated spend days and 2 blow outs!! The blowouts were not too bad so I am not kicking myself yet but there is still a lot of month to cover!!. . Thinking about it after ..... there was no way I was ever going to get 25+ no spend days including all ready allowed spending ... must have had one two many wines when I wrote it :) haha and the mishap on day 13 proves you need to update daily!!! Haha. . Anyone else doing a no spend month this month?? #wegotgaols. . . #minimallife #tracker #moneytracker #sidehustle #sidehustles #cleaninglife #stepmum #nospendchallenge #daveramsey #minimalist #payday #mumlife #budget #budgetqueen #budgetplanner #budgetlife #debtfreecommunityaustralia #barefootinvestor #frugallifestyle #zerobasedbudget #debtfreejourney #debtfreecommunity #debtfreelife #gazelleintensity #nospendmonth #declutter #savingmoney #savings #ozdebtfreecommunity
18.01.2022 Listed below is 3 quick and simple ways to start saving a couple of $$ a day on electricity it may not sound like much but those couple of $$ a day really adds up in over the course of the year ... and who wouldn’t love a $20 reduction on the electric bill!!. . Power points is a huge one in our house .. often 2/3 times a day I will scoot about the house switching them all off this includes all the ones in the kids rooms, the kettle, microwave and the one that powers our g...as stove!! Off is off and it only takes a few seconds to do!!. . it’s currently winter here in Aus and there is nothing better than a nice toasty house but if it not snowing where you are then we find snuggling up on the couch in our thickest socks and a blankie much nicer than running the reverse air conditioning... don’t get me wrong there is a few nights in the middle of winter it will be switched on but for the most part it’s a last resort!. . We do all of our washing in cold water ... it saves the machine heating it up and with all the fancy liquids out now there is no need to boil your clothes to get them clean . . Lastly I would just like to add call your provider and ask them if they have a cheaper deals? Most even do a cheeky lil discount for setting up a direct debt... a discount is a discount right?? . . How do you save a couple of $$ on your electric bill? And tips and tricks helps us all!!. . #electricbill #saveonelectricity #savemoney #turnoff #minimalist #payday #budget #budgetqueen #budgetplanner #budgetlife #debtfreecommunityaustralia #frugalliving #italladdsup #frugallifestyle #zerobasedbudget #debtfreejourney #debtfreecommunity #debtfreelife #mortgage #nospendmonth #declutter #savingmoney #savings #ozdebtfreecommunity See more

It’s where I get to plan what is happening, where the weekly pays are going and ensure all our hard work is paying off!!. .

With the intention that one we won’t have to work for the dollar . . I love seeing others budgets and watching them... spread their money as far as they can, so here is our budget for this week!! I have paid all of the manual ones this morning and stuffed our cash envelopes, tomorrow all of the direct debts will fly out and I will be alone to fill in the rest . . Then we shall do it all again next week!!. .

10.01.2022 One of my favourite motivators is seeing the numbers grow and fall. . mid way through July due to some changes in circumstances we were able to move most of our savings to the mortgage so the interest dropped significantly this month.. we are ok with that!. . we are currently working a plan to have a little bit of dividends paid to us each month ... JULY only has one ETF that pays (VAS) and we need to grow it ... baby steps!.... . FINALLY..our main focus has turned to the mortgage with the savings added this month we seen a decent drop in interest charged ... hoping to get this under $600 a month by the end of the year!! . . it is wonderful to start seeing some real movement in these numbers... hard work is paying off!. . #ozdebtfreecommunity #numbersgame #firemovement #freecommunity #buildingwealth #retirement #retirementdreams #savingmoneyonfood #budgetplanner #savingscommunity #savingmoney #frugalliving #ozdebtfreejourney #ozdebtfreecommunity #stepmumlife #payingoffdebt #debtfreeliving #debtfreeby2025 #fifo #fifolife #sacrificetosucceed See more

04.01.2022 On the 13 of May 2020 I joined the Micro investing craze again after a few yrs out ... I figured the market has just had a dip and what harm could popping $5 in every Friday as the market slowly climbs back up its peak?. . 8 weeks on here is my progress..I am impressed..With my $5 investments weekly, I added the couple of budget spreadsheet sales from my blog and you guys signing up... I am about to click over $100 ! So thank you for helping!!. . They still have increased t...heir bonus to $10 giving you(and me) just for signing up after putting in your first $5 .. if you swipe across you will see how my investment is going so far 4% growth is better than my savings account!! .... not moving mountains over here but definitely better than wasting that $5 a week on a beer .... that’s gotta be a WIN hey!!!. .

03.01.2022 Starting to feel a little excited that I will hit my target this year of $80.00 a month in paid dividends ... I am not out to be making millions and I am not even sure that $3000 in dividends a month is realistic ... but gotta aim high to hit somewhere near it!! I am slowly building my portfolio with stocks that I like or I am interested in :) nothing to crazy in there but they keep me happy!!. . This is after 18months of investing ... no huge amounts in there but small bite ...size purchases is starting to pay off!. .

02.01.2022 WEEK 8 $194.22 / $2,500. . I have said it a billion times before one of the easiest ways to save $$ is by transferring little bits as often as U can to a savings account away from your main bank! and that is what we are doing here!. . My personal goal at the moment is to save $2,500 so I can have some beautiful pink diamonds I own put into a ring finally I have picked them up about 8 yrs when I worked for a mine in Kakadu..and its time I pulled them out of the safe br...ushed off the dust and properly enjoyed them!!. . As this is MY goal I wanted to save for it from my personal spending money..the plan is to save $10 straight away out of it and transfer as much as I can in the week without leaving myself short! I still have a long way to go and it is feeling like it will take me years to save but it will be sooo worth it! . . Any of you guys have a little side goal you are working towards for yourselves?. . #ozdebtfreecommunity #goals #goaldigger #savingmoney #savingmoneytips #adamas #budgetplanner #pinkdiamondring #argylediamonds #workperk #beautifuldiamond #spoilingmyself #thefirecommunity #savingsplan #budgetplanner See more
02.01.2022 One of my favourite motivators is seeing our interest PAID & CHARGED grow and fall. . Savings ... well this month is looking pretty spectacular in savings but ... it is FAKE We have pooled all the $$$ we could into this account so we could wait for it ... buy the Ex’s house ... cause it was the only choice we had ... more on that to come!. . This month we had 2 dividends pay up which is great slow and steady on that front!.... . FINALLY..our main focus was the mortgage but now that we have had to buy the second house next focus will be paying minimum on the mortgage and all will go in to renovations!! .. our daily cost on one mortgage is currently $23.40 but by the end of this month that will nearly doubled . . At the minute I can’t see our financially free life ever being ours!! But hopefully in five yrs we can look back and think ... shit it was hard work but we made it!! . #ozdebtfreecommunity #numbersgame #firemovement #freecommunity #buildingwealth #retirement #retirementdreams #savingmoneyonfood #budgetplanner #savingscommunity #savingmoney #frugalliving #ozdebtfreejourney #ozdebtfreecommunity #stepmumlife #payingoffdebt #debtfreeliving #debtfreeby2025 #fifo #fifolife #sacrificetosucceed See more
