I have spent all morning playing Whac-A-Mole with Canada.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

le nubian, the zillow estimates in my town directly correspond to the county estimates of value for tax purposes. Thankfully (from a tax-payer and house-seller's standpoint) these estimates are quite a bit lower than the houses sell for on the market.
Zillow might have better estimates in bigger markets, but here they just troll the tax rolls.

Oh, that's interesting, Rick. I've been saying we're underwater based on zillow, but I know the tax estimates were much lower than the appraisal we had done at the time. So I should check and see if that's the case in our area. I bet it is.

Huh, I wonder if the Bmore city estimates are affected by our homestead tax credit?

Our county lists a before and after homestead credit value, and zillow's bots grab the before.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
#21 needs to go up on Good Stuff.
Good call.
I know you said you weren't worried about it, Jesse, but just to throw it out there - do you still have checks? You can go to the grocery store and write a check for over the amount if the cash situation gets too tight before your new card shows up.
Ooh, good tip! The grocery store is way easier to get to than the bank, for me. But I can definitely go to the bank when it's open tomorrow, so that should be fine.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Rick,
hmm. thanks for that information. It is lower than my county tax estimate. To add insult to injury.

The Zestimate for my neighbors' apartment is $30k above what they just sold it for, for whatever that's worth.
