I was digging up some info on the home I purchased back in 1992 for $44,900, in preparation for putting it up for sale. It's hard to think of leaving this tiny house which has been my home for the last 19 years. The property has doubled in value over that time. That may sound like a good investment, but it actually comes out to about 4% per year, which is only slightly above the rate of inflation. If you consider property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, it's probably more like 0%.

Six months have past since I started my new job. I have recently begun telecommuting for two days each week and have found it to be only a temporary solution at best. It feels like I am more productive at work, then at home. As it stands now, I have extended my apartment lease for another three months, which hopefully will give me enough time to find a more permanent solution.
