We just refinanced our house.

We are $670,000 in debt.

So this is...good? Bad? Probably long-term good, right? t /obviously not a homeowner

I would KILL for a '98, although I am fond of our good car, a '91 Infiniti.

This is NoCal. I am spending amounts of money that even a Manhattan resident would agree are insane for a very, very pleasant '60s ranch.

I get that. Financing and home-owning have such heavy, long-term consequential anxieties attached to them.

$600,000 dollars of debt could buy quite a house here. The kind of house where you need a map to find your way around.
