I have a little buffer now, but I know once the house is handed over that will disappear quickly on furniture, landscaping, fences, etc. I'm trying to find a balance between making extra repayments on the house (while interests are low) and still living life. I haven't been able to really work out the post build costs, I can only make some guesses. At least being on my own I only have to worry about what I cost I'll save a little on travel as I'll no longer be parking at the station for work, and I'll be in walking distance of shops, libraries, etc that I'm currently driving to. Internet and phone costs will probably go up, along with having to pay electricity, water, gas & rates. Will be interesting to see how it ends up. For now I want to buckle down and getting saving again before the house is ready, I've been a bit careless of late.

And im waiting for permit now and the admin girl did told me the earliest they can start will be in November.... would be happy if i can move in April next year, but i doubt it.... but mine is a small house.. so im praying i can move in by June the latest...
