All Growed Up

Jeff and I sold our condo a couple of weeks ago. This being the first time we’ve ever had this much cash in our hands from the transaction, we made some responsible (and fun) choices of how to manage it.
A portion went to the church, then we paid off my car (a used Honda Accord we got one year ago that will hopefully last us for a long time!), opened individual Roth IRAs, set part of it aside for the downpayment on our home we’re closing on this month, set another part out to beef up our savings, set a small amount for home improvements, furniture, etc. and then bought two iPod nanos! (that was the fun part)
It certainly is hard to hold on to cash once you get it. But I feel we made some good choices and look forward to those investments doing well for us down the road. I like having a plan with money!
