Adulting

[Emmie2016]

So disappointing when you have to be an adult

Me and the DH decided tonight to postpone our Orlando holiday and go in 2019 instead of 2018. We really need a new car and although we could afford both it would be a little tight. Hubby took a lot of persuading though haha as he knows I was sooo excited

So we decided that we'd rather have saved up for everything and also started on the house kitty!

Majorly disappointed but happy with the decision!

Good call. Hard but good. You'll enjoy both the car and the trip more on these terms. Well done 👍🏻

Absolutely the right decision.

Just think of the new things (Star Wars Land!) that will be open in 2019 that you would have missed had you gone in 2018...

Plus a little more time to save, so you will probably have a little more spending money.

Remember when you were desperate to grow up- being an adult is not all we thought it would be is it! We have made a similar decision as our house really needs some work so not going back till 2019. It's the right call but it's still gut wrenching when you decide. 🙁
We are going to Wales next year with our family and friends. Have found a lovely cottage with a hot tub and it's an area we have never been to so, although it's not Florida we are looking forward to it.

We've just cancelled our 2018 trip too

Lost our deposit but we worked out all in, it's about £7,000 in the house fund that we could really do with!

Know how you feel, we cancelled our 2017 trip when our landlord told us he was selling our flat, totally out of the blue! I was gutted but felt like it was the time to save and buy our own place; we're now waiting to move into our new build and I can't wait to book for 2019 once we're in

Everything happens for a reason and I hope you enjoy your new car xx

It really does add up doesn't it! 7000 is a lot of deposit and Disney will still be there

Being an adult sucks haha. Hubby has just booked a long weekend for our wedding anniversary in March, so that's something to look forward to Wales is lovely!

I didn't even realise that Stars wars was open 2019, this has made us feel happier about our decision!

My hubby looks a lot less stressed which is nice and looking forward to his new car

Having a new car completely paid for is a great feeling, we save and buy outright. Same for Disney, save and buy. The feeling knowing you've got no debt is great. We only ever do it this way.

I know how you feel, we are only going to turkey for a week as we have just had a second bathroom fitted downstairs and spent a fortune on our house in the last two years and my wife also needed a new car.
We love Florida and the west coast but our house has to comes first and we will still enjoy wherever we go.

Yeah adulting sucks. We've got our 2017 Disney trip in 23 sleeps, but after that all holidays are on hold. We're having a new fire installed, roof replaced (its 104 years old so took the opportunity whilst next door is having theirs done) and walls plastered. It means we're having to borrow some money from my parents and we want to pay it back and replenish our savings ASAP. There's also been an announcement in my area of work which would see all my overtime/out of hours work dry up within a year, so must be grown up.
