Can I just say, you're doing awesome? Yes, a momentary slip into mind-reading, but otherwise great.
I'm glad your ex will have the financial responsibility for a while, and you can focus on your savings plan. Did you ever look at the mrmoneymustache website? A great resource for frugality and achieving financial goals like yours.
Do you need to move to a smaller place, or could you save more money by staying in your two bedroom and getting a roommate to pay half the rent? Just a thought.
