We have undertaken the complex task of reviewing our household budget to ensure we have sufficient funds to progress along this surrogacy journey.
Some of the budget areas we are tracking and refining:
Income protection
_To ensure we are up to date and covered if we are challenged by any more health complications
Insurances, health, property and investment property
_We consider insurances to be really important, it is a safety net.
Superannuation contributions
_We want to understand where our superannuation is invested especially in this economic climate
Food
_We enjoy cooking and eating good healthy food. We will spend more time planning meals and cooking for friends
Entertainment
_Time with family and friends is really important. Find inexpensive ways to be with people. I particularly like making friends a beautiful pot of tea and spending time to chat. I also think the magic of a good old fashioned letter can not be forgotten as a great way to put a smile on a friend's face.
Medicine / Specialists Appointments
_This is an essential for us, as it is for everyone.
While the process was a bit nerve racking and collecting the details frustrating, undergoing a review of the house budget has been very useful for us.
