Catching up

June 18th, 2007 at 04:05 am

A bit to talk about on the money front...my seller signed an offer on the house I have had listed for 6 months - home inspection tomorrow. I hope it goes well. I think it's a solid house, so I am hoping for the best. It would put about $3k in my pocket in two months if everything works out. I have two other deals in the works now - one should close in about two weeks, and the other at the end of July. When all is said and done, the three deals will net me about $5k, enough to fund one of our Roths for the year plus a little to pay off Dh's tuition.
DH has had three teaching interviews so far. Two were for our school district, which he didn't get. We're a little disappointed, but okay with it because he really wants to teach at the school he is subbing at now. He has had one interview at that school and has another tomorrow. He was *told* that they will have a position for him there, but until we get the actual offer...we're not getting too excited. We should know tomorrow for sure. We have a lot to hope for over the next few days.
I went to a new credit union that opened up down the street from my job. I haven't had any problems with BOA, but I am going to switch back to a credit union anyway. I don't like having to watch my accounts to make sure I don't get charged, or pay $4+ when I have to use another bank's ATM. I miss my credit union. I'm going back. The only downside is that I have all my accounts set up on my BOA page (through Yodlee or something similar). My new credit union doesn't offer this. I'm sure I can find the service elsewhere, but I like the fact that BOA has my history for the last year. Plus, I don't think I can link my new account to it. I'll have to check into it more.
Paid off $1300 in cc's over the weekend. We had to put another $1500 on the Discover for DH's summer class (hopefully his last one - he'll have his Masters after this one). We have the old tuition bill (on the 0% card) down to $1000 from over $5k. I've got until the end of July to pay the new bill off though, so I know we can do it before any interest kicks in.

    BOA just charged be $10 maintenance fee because my daily balance dipped below $500 for a few days. I never knew about this before, so I called and they credited me the $10 back, but still. I'm in the same boat as you with regard to all the electronic debits from my account. Makes me totally unmotivated to go change banks...
