Kind of deeply burned into the psych.
This.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How are you doing today, Tom?

Stupid question for the real adults in the room, from one who was raised by DIYers and has only ever done DIY and is so sick of DIY I could spit: how the hell do you save enough to pay for a remodel? Or do you finance it? HOW DOES ADULTING WORK???

Well, my analyst was away for a big chunk of August, and I'm just now getting back into the swing of things with him on my childhood/self-esteem/loneliness issues. My anxiety levels were already high enough that 9/11 isn't making much of an additional impact.
Uhm, thanks for asking?

Plei, do you have a financial advisor? Ours was the adult in the room who told us whether to use our money, his money, or someone else's money.

Financing remodeling: I thought that was what refinancing your house was for.

Yeah, we did some work on our house with an inheritance when my grandfather passed, but mostly it's been home equity/re-fi money.

It makes sense if your house has significantly appreciated, so you can plow some of that money back into making it even more appreciated. (Financially speaking.)

Oh man! Well, love to you regardless.

We are doing a big remodel and we got the money these ways: 1) deliberately putting 10% down on the house when we could have afforded more and saving that cash for the expected remodel, 2) getting used to living on one paycheck when we moved and I was out of work for a year, and not adjusting all the way back up when I got a job, 3) mr. flea's parents believe in being very fair and so they gave us some money because they gave his sister some money (she needed money, we didn't, but they don't think that way), 4) our county, which is full of old housing stock in disrepair, has a low-interest loan for exactly this purpose.
