We've been trying to sell our house, and even though our house is really nice and has a lot of great stuff in it, the houses in our neighborhood all suck. Hell, our neighborhood in general sucks, and it's only going to suck more and more. We're surrounded by low-income apartments and they just put a laundromat and a booze store down the street. Now, I have nothing against laundromats. I took my comforter to the laundromat last month. And I sure as hell don't have anything against booze stores. We have made the drunken stumble down to Kelly's Beer & Wine many times since we've lived here. But these sorts of things are not the kinds of things that increase your property value.
After a depressing "Four Months In And No Offers Yet" convo with our realtor, we learned that we're just going to have to suck it up and take a hit on the house. Which means my entire summer's salary at the summer camp this year is going to go just to moving out of our house. Our house that we love but will cause us to kill each other due to lack of space once we have another child.
The advantage of knowing that you're going to have to come up with $5k sometime in the next few months makes you think twice at the grocery store. And it makes you think twice before you grab seconds (should I eat this now or have it for lunch tomorrow? stretch that Jambalaya just a liiiiiittle farther...)
With the Budget Diet, I'm hoping to stay at 120 for the forseeable future.
I would also like to add that not only did Richard take his first trip out of the state of Texas on Saturday (to the Oklahoma side of Lake Texoma), but I also braved a bikini for the first time since his birth. No there are no pictures of THAT (are you crazy?!) but here's a picture of him in his life jacket:
