Masses of debt!

We bought a house today. We owe the bank $250,000. It is imaginary money, and a real house, so I'm fairly happy :) It's a little sad to see our wee savings account looking so low - and it will continue to get sadder as we pay for necessities like moving and carpet and garage-door-openers and such. Still, our mortgage is small enough that we can afford to both spend and save while we're on 2 incomes, so that's all good. We can pay for what we have to, and still be putting $ aside for future stuff like further renovations and funding Matt and Debbie junior and such. We are both very tired, and are looking forward to the holidays like crazy.

Matt jnr may be Erik, but Matt and Debbie Junior is someone entirely younger and less born.

Or conceived.

Yay for not-that-huge debt and two incomes. :)
