About Me:

34 yr old female trying to keep it together. I call my financial life a work in progress because though I have always had frugal inclinations I only recently started on an informal financial education with an end goal to make my money work for me! Of course I can be weak. Thai food, traveling, self-justification and laziness eat away at my savings. But I am getting there. I think. I used to be very jealous of the Jones' but now realize that they are broke and stressed so I prefer my own progress and accomplishments. My life may not be flashy but I have seen the consequences of a high-end lifestyle. I count myself lucky to be alive and aware in these economic times because I have learned so much and believe that in the long run I will come out farther ahead from a little suffering now. As long as I am not regressing, then I am pleased.

Fun fact to help navigate my posts: BB = Baseball Boy. My husband.

Well, I just added a couple thousand to my house savings fund...and the house we want just lowered their price AGAIN! by $13,000.

Seller is suddenly motivated. $26,000 price drop in 2 months.

Our duplex is now at a very reasonable price and I am panicked someone will snatch it up. I was counting on that "just a tad unreasonable" price to scare away buyers.

We are still going through the pre approval process so we are not in a position to put in an offer yet.

Hopefully the stars will align soon.

If it's meant to be, it'll work out for you guys. If not, then something even better may be in store for you.
