Signed up on Facebook

July 16th, 2009 at 12:54 pm

Well, I did it. A couple of days ago, I signed up on Facebook and it's been fun. I've "connected" with several folks that I went to high school with. I found one girl that is now a fairly successful model. She's done a lot of print work and has been in a few commercials and a movie. I NEVER in a million years would've pegged her as becoming a model!! Interesting how life turns out sometimes.

Back on finances, July is the month that my raise goes into affect (we get paid on the last day of each month). That gives us an extra $550 after taxes more a month or over $6,500 more NET each year. Yea! It'll be a welcome addition to our net cash flow each month.

Our house is still sitting here stagnant. We've just found out that a house in our neighborhood (which was rented and not on the market) was sold a month or two ago for just $305,000. We've got our house listed for $349,000. This is not good at all. Of course, our house is bigger, nicer, and all that jazz but yikes. Our contract with the realtor runs out Aug 31. We've decided that if the house doesn't sell by then, we'll just take it off the market until next Spring. It's not like we have to sell and I'm not sure I want to just give it away either. I just hate that I won't be able to buy that house I posted earlier... Frown But, if things don't work out, it's not the end of the world. We are just fine where we are, both have really good stable jobs, and luckily are not caught in a dire financial situation like many are in today's economy.

    Yeah, Facebook has been an interesting and even surreal experience for me so far as well.

    Great job on the raise !!

    I think you're right in holding onto the house until buyers get more confident or even until the market improves.... as it will.... someday !

    I would hold on to the house as long as you can until prices go back up. You're in a great position to where you don't have to see for a loss, consider yourself lucky. You'll find a great house when it's time and it'll be meant to be.

    I used Facebook fanatically in the beginning, kept up with a bunch of people, checking it three times a day. But I got burnt out on it and decided "real world" friends should get more attention lol Smile

    We are living overseas right now and Facebook leads us to be able to keep in contact with people back home. It's nice to have some insurance that you can stay in touch with family and friends, as well as reconnecting with other people from the past! Glad that you are enjoying it, too.
