Recycles dryer sheets
Well everyone said that the first $500,000 is the hardest. So far, that has not been our experience. After hitting the $500,000 a year and a half ago after 7 years, we have struggled to get to the $600,000 mark. We were making this increase every 10 months before.
A combination of flat markets, a currency conversion panic mistake on my part, and the fact that my wife has been off work for 6 months without pay after the birth of our twin daughters, has meant things have ground to a halt.
We are Canadian renters and have been watching house prices jump 10-15% per year. It is really hard not to feel like we are falling behind.
Anyways, has anyone else ever experienced one of these savings 'doldrums'? What was your strategy for staying motivated and moving forward?
