Mo' money

December 22nd, 2008 at 06:23 pm

NT got some more money recently (he's my golden goose!), from England this time. US$40 from his aunt and uncle, and an FYI from his mom that his gran had deposited 750 pounds in his UK bank account. We are doing great over there--we have enough in the checking account to cover 4 months of UK bills. This extra money will take care of the 999-year land lease we have to buy next year, as well as those months when management fees get taken out of his rental income. That means we won't have to send a penny over for the forseeable future. (Remember when I had to send thousands over, at $50 a pop?)

We are telling gran her gift is going into the baby fund, because essentially it is--now we know that every extra cent we make here in the U.S. can go toward baby. I always had it in the back of my mind that I was going to have to deal with that lease, but now I know I won't!

    it's always nice to get extra money. my dad puts $60 in my account every fortnight. i never expect him to and it wouldn't surprise me if one day he decided not to, but he's been putting it in like clockwork every fortnight (when i was in school it was once a month - and less). i usually put it towards savings too. or music (he would be proud).

    I do remember that (the sending money over). You've come a long way since then!

    999-year land lease?

    Since you own property in England, does that make you "landed gentry"? Smile

    CP: It's the weirdest thing. I mean, he owns the condo, but I guess you don't ever quite "own" the land. We'll just be leasing it for 999 more years. Or something. British laws confuse me. Smile
    I don't know if we qualify for gentry, but I did find out on this Web site that my last name is quite upper-class in England. It's German, and there's lots of German nobility (including some of the royal family's lineage). Who knew? Smile
