Financial Alterations

A semi-daily blog where I ramble about my financial situation. And talk about what stuff I've found out through reading blogs, other websites, and books.

I'm not dead

Ok, so keeping this page up-to-date lately has been next to impossible. Thank goodness that nobody is really reading this (hi, flexo).
Anyways, we are in the process of moving. We've almost sold our current house (the process is rolling along). It's been bizarre. We had our house on the market for almost a year last year and while we had plenty of lookers we had absolutely zero offers on the house. We put the house back on the market this weekend and by Tuesday we had an offer - and not just an offer but a really good offer. It just blows my mind. So we are getting much more for the house than I would have expected which will make getting our next house that much easier (plus we can pay off some debt at the same time).
We are moving into a rent house for a little while so we can get our kids in the school that we want and save up some more money for a bigger house. Sounds kinda backwards but I think it will work out great. Plus the rent house is basically 2 minutes from my work and 5 minutes from my wife's work so we'll be saving a considerable amount in gas. Things are good and hopefully I'll be able to go home every day for lunch which will save even more money since we won't be eating out.
As of tomorrow I should have a working internet connection at home so the updates will start to flow like...something that flows by next week. Hooray.
