JZ,
don't tempt me. $75K might be just about all the equity I have in my house right now (she says without crying - mostly) so I am tempted to max out my credit cards and buy a house right now!
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
After a while your brain adjusts so you don't feel tired anymore.
When does that happen? I've been tired for months.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Maybe I'm just cynical, but I see $75k and think "handyman special"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I see "nothing in this town worth paying a premium for.".

I see $75K and see hope.

I see 75K and think someone forgot a zero.
We went into an open house last Sunday in our neighborhood for a bungalow listed at 750K that was completely gutted and re-done inside. Things looked nice but there were some seriously stupid design decisions made (like upstairs where there is a master bath [no bathtub] without a door [one of 2 bathrooms without a door - must be a thing for them] and so anyone in the other bedroom upstairs either has to use the master bath or go down a flight of stairs. It was more important to have a master bath than to have a bathroom available to everyone up there, really?)
