we're looking into buying a house.

so my wife and I decided...what better way to say "fuck you we don't need you" to Egg...than to look into buying a house?

my FIL suggested buying a house with my wife's inheritance and have it somewhat close to, you know, family. soooo now we're looking at houses. not like looking looking but just seeing what's out there that we could likely afford, things that we like in a house, things we hate, things we're willing to compromise on, and then actually like.

get preapproval
see how much we could get for a mortgage
and then go from there

but at the price point we could reasonably afford a mortgage for? we could get something really nice. like nicer than what we live in. and like, this is exciting! like genuinely exciting
