Meeting Milestones

Payday is a great day in anyone's book, but I get particularly excited every fortnight these days because it means I'm putting another chunk into our joint savings account and slowing chipping away at the end goal- a home deposit.
Recently Steve and I discussed what we should do to celebrate as we reached the big savings milestones. And while the idea of going away for the weekend or buying ourselves something nice all sounded like great ideas, we must admit it sounded a bit counter-intuitive celebrating saving by spending. But Steve being the genius that he is decided perhaps we make a small investment in a case of wine from a winery we visited during our Christmas road trip through the Barossa Valley to Melbourne.
This week the case of Langmeil Orphan Bank Shiraz arrived!

And mark the milestones with a couple of simple labels!

Every ten thousand dollars we get to drink! It's like a really fun drinking game!

We are approximately 3 weeks off from popping the cork on the first bottle!
