For reasons I can't begin to remember at the moment, we did not have an escrow acount setup with our mortgage, so the other day we got a bill for our property tax in the mail. $1800! This is not good considering we haven't been nearly as frugal as we should have been since I quit my job (and consequently lost 1/2 our income). This comes inconveniently right before the holidays and just prior to when we want to renew our season tickets for RSL. We've absentmindedly blown through a big chunk of our savings in the last two months and now with property tax and season tickets, we won't likely replace it any time soon. Gah.
It's not all bad though, like I said, we haven't really been living on a tight budget lately, so it shouldn't be too hard to find ways to cinch up our belts and scrape together what we need. It is quite the slap upside the head though. I mean, WHAT WERE WE THINKING? We weren't thinking at all apparently, and luckily we got a reality check before things got really out of hand.
