Hopefully
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or else very very hopeful!

So I was at this meetup last night, and at some point we were telling stories of Nerdy Events We Had Been To, and in the course of her story, someone mentioned a group from "a Buffy board." I was all casual, "Oh, which one?" Turned out to be from the Mighty Big TV days.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I was looking on zillow (which, by the way is fucking crazy making. Do not look at the site if you value your sanity) to price out my current home to see *about* how much under water I am.
I am probably about $14,000 under water (before looking at fees and real estate commission). With commission I am about $23K in the hole without other nonsense.
This is a lot of money.
I'm trying to let this amount of $$ sit with me so I don't hyperventilate. The worst thing about this amount of money is that if I could pay it down at low interest rates, I wouldn't freak out. But there aren't low interest rates for unsecured loans. I could buy a honda accord tomorrow at that price and have payments I could manage. But not to pay off a mortage that's under water!
I could do some credit card balance transfer bullshit, but those have fees attached and I am not sure I have a card with a balance that high.
I just applied for a revolving line of credit from my credit union which will cover $10K of it. I will sell my body for the rest!

I think Zillow is possibly a load of crap, though? I mean, there's a house on my parents' street that I know sold for a million dollars last year and is on Zillow at about $850K. Has the market gotten that much worse in the last year? In their neighborhood, I doubt it. So just don't take Zillow as the final word, I think.

God. I hope you are right. I really don't want to take that kind of hit.

Yeah, they are estimating my house at $70,000 less than the house next door--which is basically IDENTICAL to mine--just sold for a few weeks ago.

Holy shit, you guys. An ATM took my debit card last night (in an inconvenient location), so I just called my bank to get a new one, and he had already said he was cancelling the old card and mailing me a new one, when he told me it will take a week to get here! Now I wish I had put a little more effort into figuring out if I could retrieve it somehow. I'd better go to the bank tomorrow for cash. So annoying!
