Big Purchase

Reality hits at last! On Monday I just signed a cheque for almost $40k...and was informed that my CPF account would be wipped out by August 07. Every month for the next 10 years, we would have to pay for our mortgage... GOSH!!! Its scary >.<''''
To beat the GST increase, we then went to purchase our big electrical items such as aircon units, fridge, and washing machine. Ask kboy on my haggling skills and he will testify that I do make a rather good negotiator. :) Well, every cent counts you know!!
Well, at least now, we have a house to call our own :) Renovations will start in August and hopefully, it will be ready before October comes....
