re: #215 ggt

Yep, you can have the house just like the one’s your “friends” (a/k/a Jones’s) are building. “You can keep up.”

That drove a lot of it. If all your friends have McMansions, WTF is wrong with you not having one?

You won’t be able to afford to furnish this house …

That’s why we went cheap. The guy handling our mortgage was actually pissed that we didn’t bite on the ridiculously huge mortgage. Less money for him.

Meanwhile, we can go out to dinner and take vacations if we want. We’re not zillionaires, but if we took what the bank wanted us to take we’d have this huge house and be trapped in it. No, thanks.
