Wrong Numbers
Nov. 18th, 2014 04:13 pmSo... today we got the actual nums for the home owner dues for next year. That made me go back and get actual nums for last year to compare...
And I was wrong - I overstated the $$.
My real estate taxes last year were $3,326.
My home owners dues last year were $6,053
So, monthly, my non-mortgage fixed homeowners costs were $781.
Next year the home owner dues go up 3% to %525 per month of $6309.52 for the year (I pay it all in January so I don't have to think about it for another year.)
And as long as I'm documenting... I pay $1,000 a month on my mortgage which carries an interest rate of 3.875%. (The actual bill is $986.07 but I round it up.) It will be paid off in 2026.

My phone finally got the update. Nice. I made a pretty successful (found what I wanted) Costco trip. Swimming was great. Good day all around.
