Thanks to both of you!
Thanks! Time is flying by, it's true and with my daughter coming in 11 weeks (yikes!!) it will go even faster.prognastat wrote: ↑Tue Nov 06, 2018 7:20 pmCongrats on your crazy good savings rate this month. Keep it up and you'll get to your goal in no time.
Is that because the closer you are the more motivated you are to have a higher savings rate or because you also count investment income as savings?FBeyer wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 3:37 amInitially I was kinda stumped at the 93% savings rate and then I had one of those 'herpetty FI-math derp Batman' the closer you get to FI the more your savings rate approaches 100, it's kind of inevitable!
11 weeks is nothing! Whatever you expect from parenting: It's not going to be like that. Corrolary: You don't know what free time is, until you have children.
Congratulations to the both of you.
The 93% was without investment income, I guess I hadn't thought of including that. We just don't spend much money and I also got paid a little extra this month for reasons unknown to me actually.
Thanks!
Ha! If only you could have been in my head during those 2 weeks between appointments. Having no information and reading all I could on it. We are definitely more at ease now. This is definitely letting me flex my "you don't have control" muscles though.
Thanks jp! I'm curious now about your DS. I will certainly ping you if it turns out she has it. I am heartened by knowing not everyone with PCD has the worst symptoms. Many people don't have many symptoms at all.jennypenny wrote: ↑Sat Dec 01, 2018 12:00 pmSorry about the medical issues. If she has PCD give me a ping--her maintenance regimen will be similar to DS. It's not a big deal.
Word of warning, that wasn't our experience at all! <1 hour labour here for our first (and definitely last! ), things don't always go as you expect! If you haven't already, get your hospital bags packed and even if you think you won't need them, carry them with you every time you leave the house together!
