Yesterday the title company lady called; their computers were down, but they'd been able to verify my wire had come through. She got the duplex seller's contact info from me to see how she could get the money to him. She called me back a couple hours later saying she'd wired the money to him. She'd get a signed satisfaction from him once her computers came back up.
She still hasn't emailed that to me, so I'll check in Monday. But I'm assuming it's just the seller dragging his feet as usual.
I provided some more forms to the broker and it seems the refinance is in process. So I'm hopeful it will be finalized next week. I canceled the autopay on my current mortgage (after confirming with my broker that I should), so it feels pretty real!
My sister's in town until Monday afternoon, so we'll be spending a bit of money eating out and such. Not too much, especially since AS hasn't received any more freelance checks this week. There's quite a backlog, so it'll be exciting when it all starts rolling in.
I started a simple spreadsheet that I'll refresh once a week with the balance of shared and individual spending money. My hope is that AS and NT will get in the habit of recording their purchases there, making it easier to update my main worksheet. And there will be less of me telling them what we can afford; we'll all give input into how we spend the available funds.
I even set it up to email me when someone updates it, so I know when to check it and add something to my main spreadsheet. I hope it works out!
