I told you it’s a little gross.

Having the savings allowed us to quickly feel comfortable transitioning into having me stay home and putting my time into building my business (this blog!).With that savings we were able to make the transition from working crazy full-time hours in a stressful corporate job to taking a risk and eventually being able to work from home (amazing!!).

All this while still enjoying DIY projects around the house, putting on a new metal roof and buying fun new appliances.So if you’re not going to get a decent amount of money to put into savings from the sale of your old house, start putting a bit away now!.Pick the RIGHT farmhouse.

If you’ve decided you want to live the old farmhouse dream, just be aware that not all old farmhouses are created equally.Our house is 114 years old and houses this age have gone through a lot of owners and a lot of different  renovations.

Typically, some good renovations, and some not-so-good.

Be on the look out for a farmhouse that you can live comfortably in NOW and work on little by little over time.in the dining room.

You have to laugh at yourself sometimes.Or all the time..

It looks like something you would draw in third grade when you’re trying to make your friend giggle and think you’re cool.So I guess that’s where my sense of humor is right now!
