Just a significant issue to us but otherwise a minor rant... figured I'd post in this sub-forum rather than spook others.
FINALLY 2018 was to be the year where expenses would normalize and we would truly start our RE!
Well, single pregnant daughter moved home (of course welcome but expensive) and house is now, unexpectedly facing 200k+ of repairs without recourse (insurance or otherwise).
So happy 2018 to us!
But, after a deep breath, yes, "happy 2018 to us". The new expenses take a big hit and it SUCKS to withdraw from Vanguard funds for these unexpected situations.
Still, this fits within the side fund for unexpected stuff.
But now that bucket is way empty... aargh!
