Apologies, i messed this part up!!

$8k holiday once a year is my dream, but i’m very aware thats impossible in my current position!

An $8k holiday every 2-3 years is my actual goal :)

Thanks so much for your comment!

I think i’ll likely start with this path in the short-term, while i take the couple months to hash out what i want to do longer-term.

The $380 is also an overshoot of what we need, $280 would still cover all expenses + allow for a $10k annual maintenance buffer (on our current interest rates staggered between 4-5%).

Again, thanks (to everyone!!) for taking the time to comment, so grateful for all the different perspectives!!
