Keeping one’s goals in mind

It was an Autumn Melbourne evening when Sarah curled up in bed for the first night in her new home, a one-bedroom apartment alongside the Peninsula. She could not help but feel a sense of relief, a sense of ease. She realised this was not a moment that would come along too frequently. Really, how often does someone buy a home? How often does someone receive a lump sum of $20,000 in inheritance? These were only some of the thoughts going through Sarah’s comforted mind.
