episode 15. Dragons down the street

On this episode, Kelsey and Chris rationalize hiring a service to clean the house once per month. We chat about Kelsey's raise and our tax return (yes, we've filed and received our return because we're a wee bit crazy) and what we decided to do with that money. And, we talk about our 2016 financial summit, our financial outlook for the year, the big expenses coming up and how we're balancing that with our aggressive savings goals.

We also discuss a great listener question about whether to increase voluntary contributions to a 401K or to spend extra money on paying down a car loan or mortgage.

Finally, in One Big Thing, Kelsey talks exercise and Chris suggests you should begin before you're ready.

  1. I think hiring out home services is totally the way to go if it fits with your budget and lifestyle. TOTALLY.
    Now, I say that, but I also really love cleaning my own house (I don’t have kids who live here on the regular, so what I clean typically stays clean, unless the husband and his dirty socks attack it). For me, cleaning is therapeutic…except dusting, which I bribe my stepkids to do with any means necessary. 🙂
    I love how open you are with your lives, finances, the works!

  2. Thanks, lady! I hear you on therapeutic cleaning. I love folding laundry, if I can listen to podcasts in peace while I do it. Trying to do it with toddlers underfoot, not so much.
