Last weekend, I traveled by train to Vancouver, WA for the annual Portland Century bike ride. Contrary to the “Century” part, there are two additional ride options, one 33 miles and one 70 miles. My dad and I completed the latter of those; we did so in near 90 degree heat.
The trip yielded another milestone, that of my Suze Orman approved eight month security fund. I have reached my goal.
The next step is to divert the monthly funds that went into building that fund into two places. First is retirement. Starting this month, I will double what I put into my Roth IRA. Second is the tiny house.
Andi’s goal has long been to pick up the plans for our proposed Lusby in October. If she is capable of putting forward the money, we may get them in September.
Then the saving begins for the trailer on which the house will sit. Come early next year, we will have saved enough for that — the biggest single expense of the house.
There are a few reasons the tiny house is such an exciting project, which I hope to document in a future post. For now, I’m setting aside $40 per week for the project, which we plan to fund as we go.
