That would be indescribably awesome. <br /><br />I also didn't factor in income from KMA in the years after 2015; that's another couple million won per year. Perhaps balancing out KMA, though, are the large purchases I'll be making once I move—stuff like furniture, a decent TV, kitchen appliances, etc. And there's also the chance that, between now and 2019, I'll want to skip out to Europe at some point and spend a week there. Europe definitely drains the wallet. <br /><br />I've budgeted only about $450/month for my discretionary expenditures, which isn't all that much, especially since most of that will go to food. But I'm not too worried: my cash buffer is going to be huge.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-41401525976882179352015-01-23T23:53:04.258+09:002015-01-23T23:53:04.258+09:00Wow, I didn't know that GG was going to take c...Wow, I didn't know that GG was going to take care of housing (I probably just wasn't paying attention). That's huge. Sounds like things are really starting to shape up.Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.com
