I am getting nervous about this house we are building. I never dreamed we would have so much money in it.
You see, land has gone sky high the past few years around here. We seemed to have picked out a very expensive planned house to build.
Georgia is now having inspections and everyone is required to have general liability insurance and workman's comp, so prices for things have gone sky high. Last year we paid a roofer $650 to work for a few days putting shingles on, now it cost $2400!
Yesterday, I transferred $40,000 from my savings to my checking to pay the bills.
To date, I have $162,000 in this house and I don't even have the drywall done inside yet. That is not counting the $65,000 that I paid for the lot.
That is $227,000 that I have so far, just sitting.
My husband is so busy with the other 2 houses, he does not have much time for this one.
I hope our next house does not cost this much. I liked building cute cabins better. It is so hard to find a reasonable lot around here. Everyone wants a mountain view!!
I need to quit worrying and be grateful that I have so much!! Thanks for letting me get this worry off my chest a little bit!

Also, I just realized that you're a cradle robber! (He is 7 years younger than I)
