Investment Portfolio

Item #1:
Little Tykes swing set.
Price New: $700 (approx.)
Price Used: $250 (1.5 years ago)
Sold: $300 (yesterday)
Hours and hours of backyard fun (for Henry and friends)!
Rating: Great Investment

Item #2:
Portable DVD Player
Price New: Honestly don't remember $150 I'm guessing
Price Used: Bought it new.
Sold: $0
It's a piece of crap. It never works. It discourages interactive fun.
Rating: Waste of money. Use your laptop instead (though that won't fix the interactive problem).
Item #3:
House.
Price New: Probably less than $10. We have the original Warranty Deed signed by Ulysses S. Grant.
Price Used: $183,900
Sold: It's on the market if you want it!
We love our house and we love our neighborhood but we decided now is the best time for us to do something more temporary (since we're going to be gone for a while and leave again in a few months).
Rating: Hopefully a good investment. Only time will tell!

Yep. We're leaving town for a couple months and when we get back we're thinking the 500 South viaduct in SLC looks nice!

Very funny. What a good way to announce that you are selling your house.Hopefully Uncle Sam's $8000 tax incentive will get you a buyer.

I loved catching up on your blog but was sad the first thing I saw was that your'e moving! Good luck to you both and I'm exicted to see updates with all the chaos you'll probably have coming up. So fun!
