About Me

I’m Tasha, a 20-something millennial from the sunny state of Queensland, Australia. I was a shopaholic for many years and got myself into more than $16k of consumer debt.

In 2017, I embarked on my debt free journey and thought I would share it all with you along the way.

18 weeks this week. Baby is as big as a grapefruit 💕 12 more days till the big anatomy scan 👣 I can't wait to see him. Haven't seen him since 13 weeks! 🤰
Especially in times like this we aren't often able to earn more, some of us are even earning less for various reasons. What we can control is what we spend and consume...
💥 Giveaway💥 Tonights dinner is another @marleyspoonau meal. This one is four cheese ravioli with pea, leek and herb sauce. Lots of greens in here and no meat in sight! Last week I didn't have a delivery mainly because I wasn't fussed on some of the options but I've got one this week and next. Loving cooking new and different things all the time 🤤 •••• 💥💥💥💥💥 I've just realised I have 2 free boxes available. If you'd like to get a free box (of 3 meals) comment below your favourite thing to cook. You have to have not used Marley Spoon before. Also make sure they deliver to your area so I don't give a code away to someone who won't be able to use it. Check the site for more info. Closes Thursday 9 April at 6pm AEST. Australian entries only.
No one could have expected going into 2020 that we'd be experiencing the crisis that we are now. No one knows how to feel and no one can tell you how you should feel. If you're scared, worried, upset, anxious, annoyed or any other feeling... that's ok. Let yourself feel.
I've had this little sign in my house for years but it seems especially appropriate at the moment 💕
So during the week I didn't realise I let my trial period of eBay plus come to an end and I was charged $48.99 for the next year to have eBay plus. I contacted them and was able to get it refunded. Just a reminder to check your subscriptions and when you do go through a trial period put a reminder in your calendar to cancel it! Now to get the late fee on my Optus bill wiped... My direct debit didn't process but they told me it had and refused to re-run it even though I asked twice on 2 different days. Few days after the bill was due they sent me a notice saying my debit didn't process and the bill was now overdue and so I got a late fee on my next bill. When none of it was my fault. Will be calling them to get that wiped too!
Lamb pie from @marleyspoonau with a cauliflower & potato mash. Man it's good! Having Marley spoon has been so helpful for some variety in my diet. Side note: how cute are my combi van salt and pepper shakers. I got them at a random newsagents once. I love stuff with combi vans on them.
If anything this pandemic has shown me that having an emergency fund and some savings is more important now than ever. Thank god I didn't blow my redundancy package that I got at my last job and instead saved majority of it to set myself up well.
16 weeks today! Baby is the size of an 🥑, 🥒 or 🍊 depending on which app I use. He is approx 11.5cm-13cm long now (again depends on which app you use) and will double in size in the next month. Crazy! I have my first midwife appt next week and then my 20 wk scan booked near the end of April. 👣 I've started to feel flutters quite often which is pretty cute. I can't wait for the proper bigger kicks.

Savings Goals

Savings
$22,702 / $80,000
3 Month Emergency Fund
$12,000 / $12,000
Investments
$16,954 / $20,000
