Chair Fund Update

As you can see, the "Chair Fund" is gathering more dust than coins.

As my youngest said, it is hard to save for something when the old one is still in use. Easy for him to say, he isn't the one that gets stuck by a wire every day.

He is right though. It is very hard to get enthusiastic about a new chair.

Of course, plumbing issues, a new pool heater, and spending money for the boys' trip to Costa Rica are getting in the way too.

The fund will probably do better once I get the youngest off to school in the fall.

Chair Fund

Several people have asked me about my chair fund because they can see on this blog that it is going slow.

I haven't forgotten the chair fund, it is just that I get hit really hard this time of year with car and house insurance being due within less than a month of each other, and there have been some home repair expenses included. Since I try to live without touching savings (except for the septic repair), there is not a lot of extra for the chair fund this time of year.

I think June will be a good month for the fund though because with the boys gone for nine days I should be able to save on groceries and put that money towards the chair.

I am picturing a green chair in my mind.
