Troy and I have been working for his mom (aka Lucy aka Granny Sassy) for a while now. Actually for Troy it has been almost a year! Wow. Anyway we are both crazy busy and work anywhere from 10 to 12 hrs a day. We negotiate short sales, so needless to say there are not enough hours in the day. When I first started working for Lucy, it was completely commission based and I would wait until a property closed before getting paid. It is usually 4 to 6 months to develop a consistent pipeline of closings if you are working full time. In February, Lucy asked me to work full time as a salaried employee (I told you we are crazy busy!!). One thing that Troy and I did not think about was all of my old files that I would still be getting my commission pay on when they closed. It has been such a blessing to our family to have the extra income coming in and finally feel like we are getting caught up financially.
However this last weekend, I might have made one of the most irresponsible financial decisions in my life... I went to Nordstrom's. I bought some things. I spent way too much money. And my husband was totally the instigator (I am VERY spoiled).
Basically this sums it up. Karen + Kate = BFF...
