Bits and Pieces

August 6th, 2011 at 09:47 pm

I spent the day puttering around--wrapping presents for upcoming birthdays, sifting through my recipe box, packing for a trip to the lake next week, planting some late-season perennials, and just tidying the house. It's been very relaxing and pleasant.

I've been watching my ebay auctions far too closely. Lots of watchers, few bidders. I need to discipline myself to check less often. There's not much real financial news to report, and I feel too laid-back to think about goals just now. Maybe I'll just enjoy August for a bit, or perhaps think about some spinach and lettuce planting soon.

I'm updating my mortgage numbers. I would indeed like to pay that off. Anyone have any real speculation about Congress ending the mortgage interest deduction?

    I think they very well may have to end the deduction. It would be one of the few things I think might actually make a dent in the debt. I am willing to give mine up if they are willing to not spend it like idiots and actually put it to debt. I feel like it is one area where people would miss it less, or maybe that's just because I was taught to never count on my tax return. It was extra money, not money to live on.
