    Default Money Market and Mutual Funds

    Dh and I went to the bank yesterday to meet with our financial advisor. We have officially set up a direct debt each month of $1225. We are putting $1000 a month into a money market account, and $225 a month into a mutual fund. We are $1231 closer to our new house!

    WTG! That's a little more than what we need to be putting aside for a house (we figured it to be $900/month). It's great to hear that someone else can actually set aside that much money - great motivation for us!

    (Right now we're only doing $100/week - working on changing that!)

    Wow that's great, I wish it was something we could do but there is time left to see what the future holds. Good luck on the future purchase of your new home.
