Bug and I have been very disciplined on savings for the past three years. Although we had splurges (vacations, wedding, shopping, etc) we make sure we save a part of our salary for our downpayment for our house. We though we have enough deposit now so for the past weeks, we were house hunting trying to find a house within our budget (indo: our budget is limited so there goes the challenge!). Luckily, we found the house that's just alittle above the budget and and located in a good area. The house is a 1950's bungalow and has 2 bedroom. Pretty small, but I coudn't complain. We can leave with this for now. Rental here in Auckland are really high and expected to still be increasing. We though having our own house is smarter rather than paying someone else's mortgage by renting their property. We have paid the down payment last week and will have our final settlement on July 29. Hopefully, all things turns well!! So here it goes!!(note: furnitures are the owner's property, we have yet t buy our own once we move in)
