Next home in Danderyd?

I've been irritable lately. Probably because of my monthly visitor. Or the gray winter days. Or the fact that we are scrimping on funds.

We are scrimping on funds because of our unit in Serendra, which we bought recently. What's left of the loan is around 25 percent. And we really want to reach the goal of paying every penny this year.

That means, no more spontaneous shopping. Marcus has no problem with that. I do. I am so used to just buying.

I haven't really been a shopper before. I was in fact frugal 2001-2004. Only when my job in Sweden becamse stable did I start shopping my heart's desire.
And now I'm back to being frugal. Damn it! I'm getting crazy from controlling myself from spending!

But then I tried to see the whole view of things.
I tried to look forward into the future - Tuwa's schooling.

Right now she is enrolled at a Montessori pre-school. The school is popular because of its results in children's attitude and development here in our area.

I want her to continue to go to a good school. So I checked the municipalities with the best schools in Sweden. There is only one municipality in Stockholm county that is in the top ten list - Danderyd.
So I checked Danderyd. They have a montessori school there until grade 6. Then perhaps she can go to Viktor Rydberg från grade 7-9.

Danderyd is one of the richest municipalities in Sweden. And the majority of the  people living there are very rich.

I told Marcus about this. I said that if Tuwa goes to school there, then we will have to move there in four-five years.
"We can do that," he said calmly.
One thing I love about Marcus is that he also is very concerned about Tuwa's welfare.

Anyway, if we will move there - then I should be damned frugal now to afford to live there. For Tuwa's sake.

My grandma Nanay did the same for us when she financed our education to get us to the best possible schools. She worked like hell and pinched every cent. I remember all those long days she spent working. She had night calls too.

If she could do that for me. Then I would learn from her. After paying for Serendra. Then I will prepare for Danderyd.
So help us, God.
