I just transferred $500 into my money market account - officially bringing it over $10,000 for the first time ever. Yeah!
This is really my "someday I'm gonna buy a house fund," that's been growing since I started it at the end of 2003. (Faithful readers will know that I also have a retirement fund and a "rainy day fund," outside my checking account.)
I'm so proud of myself :)
At first I thought I'd start looking for condos when I had $10,000 saved up, but now I think I'm going to try for $15,000. Who knows, maybe I can hold out until $20,000. It won't take me another four years to double it, because I'm able to put away more money each month now.
I think I shall have some frozen yogurt today to celebrate. Maybe even go shoe shopping.

Stick with shoes. They last longer than fro-yo on a hot day. ;-)
Congrats!!!
Shoes are definitely better! Last longer and much cuter!!!!
Way to keep your eyes on the prize and keep pushing forward. (thumbs up)
Usually I just 'lurk' on your site, but had to leave a line to congratulate you this time!!!
$10K is a niiiiiice milestone. Definitely try for the $15K...you can do it!
Great blog, I'm glad I found it.Congrats on reaching $10,000!diane
Congratulations on reaching $10k! I would definitely celebrate...shoes and frozen yogurt!
Go for the yogurt. It's one less thing you'll have to move.
Big ups to you for the big 10K! We just got back from almost a month in Europe and our bank account is decimated :)
It is so hard to save when everyone around you only knows how to spend. Congratulations!
