I've been following along but haven't had much to report!
We're currently hunting for a new apartment. Looking for a two bedroom. The problem is, everywhere nearby our place is turning into "Luxury" apartments. They all include tons of things we don't really need, like in unit washers and dryers (we have our own) and luxury fitness centers (we own a treadmill). Obviously, because of these extras, rent is hiked up.
Trying to find just a normal, middle range apartment complex is next to impossible now. If we do find one, it's generally a sump/ in an area where I wouldn't feel safe. So it looks like we're going to be forced into a luxury complex. It's affordable for us, but I hate throwing away money on more than we need that could go elsewhere.
We've looked into renting a house, but there aren't many available. I'd forgotten how much I hated this part of the moving process.
In other news, I'll be able to get a part time job again once we know where we will be living. I'm looking really forward to that and to having a paycheck.
We filed for DS's passport yesterday using some money he got for Easter/ Christmas. I'm glad that's done and we can focus on our cruise now! I have the money to pay it off and add trip insurance so I'll probably pay that off in a few weeks. I'm really looking forward to that trip- by the time we go it'll be about 1.5 years since we took a trip (and that trip was only a weekend at Hilton Head). We've also got a trip to Orlando (no Disney Parks though) planned for December. We'll probably still do a few Disney resort restaurants and Disney Springs and the Character Warehouse, though. We're staying at my mom's timeshare so most of our expenses are covered.
That's all I've got for now, happy debt dumping everyone!
