jackpot!

We finally sold our house in Edmonton!

Hooray for money!

Because the market is so crazy, we got $30,000 over our asking price!

It really does feel like winning the lottery. We certainly didn't do much to earn this money. Well, Phil did do a very nice job of finishing the renovations. But that certainly wasn't enough to warrant triple what we paid for it a mere 6 years ago.

I almost feel guilty - as if we were stealing.

When we were taking the offers, I felt tempted to interview each family, to find out which one needed it the most, instead of choosing the highest bidder. All this capital gain makes a poor little socialist feel a bit uncomfortable.

I'm sure, though, that I won't have any difficulty figuring out what to spend it on.
