Congratulations. How did it feel when they told you how much money you were going to fork over over the life of the loan. When I heard my total, I just about had a heart attack.

Thanks for the congratulations, everyone.
Yeah, we just got back from Home Depot…
Brian, our $365,000 will end up costing us over $900,000 in the end, though we’ll probably move again far before then. It’s a scary number, but it doesn’t mean all that much to me.
