I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 30 years, disabled daughter, autistic son, and my 85-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!I'm not sure when we will be getting the $10K from MIL, but it will be before the end of the year and this is what I've come up on.
$3000 Medical/Braces
$3000 Emergency Fund
$2000 Adjustable King Size Bed Frame
$_200 DD
$_200 DS
$_600 Vacation Fund
$1000 Household Replacement Items
As for items that need to be replaced in the household, DH and I both need new desk chairs and possibly DS does, too. DD just had hers replaced not that long ago and it is still in really good condition. Then the other thing I'd like to replace is our kitchen sink faucet. I want a taller faucet that rises much further above the sink, maybe even with the pull down sprayer. If there is any money left after that I'd like to also get a new shower head/sprayer. I'd like something with more flexible tubing on the sprayer. But that can come out of regular household money if necessary.
