Out of all the ways to calculate numbers to show our progress on this #mortgagefreejourney, this number right here seems to be the slowest moving one! The last time I shared we were at 47%. Now we’re at 48%. But as it’s often said, progress is progress and we’ll gladly take this 1%. #silverlining.

2020 has been a hell of a year and we’re only half way through. However, we’re pushing forward with this goal of paying off our mortgage early. #silverlining

After 3 long months, we finally got a chance at the end of May to color our mortgage payoff chart again. That payment put us below $85k! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I finally took the time to look at our numbers for May so that we could share them before it was time to share the numbers for June. 😬 May was actually pretty good for us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The total of our mortgage principal payments for May was $2003.65.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
$924.13 came from our regular payment and $1079.52 came from our budget.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the most that has come from our budget all year thanks to a 3 check month.

new plant baby || When my dad passed away 5.5 year

new plant baby || When my dad passed away 5.5 years ago, my aunt asked me if I wanted to take one of the plants from his funeral. I said no because we really didn’t have much room in the car to fit anything else. My aunt would give me updates on the plants that a friend of hers was keeping in her sunroom. I looked forward to hearing about them, but never thought to ask for one when I would go visit. A couple of years passed and one day my aunt told me that her friend’s sunroom caught on fire and all of the plants from my dad’s funeral were burned up in the fire.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s not many things in my life I regret, but not getting a plant from my dad’s funeral was definitely something I regretted. Especially after I started to grow my own little plant collection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then one day I came up with the idea that I could just buy a plant in his memory. Eventually I came across the ZZ plant. It seemed like a nice, low maintenance masculine plant. My dad wasn’t into plants and gardening, but I think he would’ve liked this one (or at least that’s what I’m telling myself lol).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So this past Father’s Day weekend I decided to finally make my purchase. It was only $10.98 plus tax from Lowe’s. While I’m not crazy about the planter it’s in, this was the smallest ZZ plant I could find. The other 2 they had were bigger although the same price. However, Omar kept reminding me of how we both like to watch the plants grow from being small plants into bigger plants.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I already have a planter that I wanted to put it in, but I’m thinking it’s too big for now. So I might have to find another one or buy another small ZZ plant. 😬 Regardless, I’m thrilled with this plant purchase in memory of my dad. 🥰 #thisgreenthumb

This can apply to so many different areas of life.
