Right now, my hypothetical future children's names are Esther Basia and Isaac Henry.
I love those names! My niece who is almost 8 months old is an Esther (looking goofy! [link]

My mortgage lender wants me to refi my mortgage and I'm not sure what to do. It would be a half point drop in interest rate - so not a ton but not nothing, but it's an FHA loan that requires a 1.5% insurance premium (on top of what I'm told is a lower monthly mortgage insurance payment). No other closing costs. He's supposed to be getting back to me soon with the exact numbers on everygthing, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
(It's 30-year fixed either way - no ARM or any craziness. It does feel like a weird time to be talking about this though.)

Obama answers questions on arms control and nuclear proliferation for my DH's magazine: [link]
McCain hasn't answered the questions, yet. (Obama was late, McCain is late-er.)

A factor to consider is how much equity you'll lose.

Refinancing makes you lose equity?

I don't think any, besides the 1.5% if that were to be capitalized.
Rate change would be from 6.5% to 6%, and part of my trouble is I don't really have a good sense of where those numbers fall on the spectrum of typical rates. Do people get rates much lower than that?

I have seen rates lower, but that was at a far far different time. Do you have someone who could run the numbers for you?

Oh are you fucking kidding me?
