You might remember a certain shack that was apparently to be had for a certain princely sum of $499K.
I promised to follow it down. And down it is going.

Still too much even with a 20% haircut.
Yesterday afternoon I found my electronic pay stubs, which list my 403B contributions. I changed my withholding after Q1 2008 to shelter a few more dollars from taxes and I aimed for the limit of $15,000K. (I know the limit is $15,500; I wanted a little breathing room) The good news is that I will get a 4% raise, possibly a 6% raise, which is, in a sense, bad news if it tips my 403B withholding above $15,500.
So I added up what I already put in. I get paid 24 times. I calculated my current withholding times 1.06, and got an estimated withholding. I figure I will be just under the limit with a 2008 withholding at $15,445. Cutting it a tad close, so I will look again on the August 15th pay stub, just to make sure. I'll have 4Q to adjust if I go over.

Yay for the 403B!

But I know it's tough. When I sold my house, I had to quickly move myself beyond the "but my house is so great" sense of pride and just sell at market price. Yes, my house WAS great, but it was just one of many homes on the market. At the time of selling, a house is just a commodity, plain and simple.
