    I haven't taken out a loan in my entire life and I intend to keep it that way. Not because im adverse to loans, but prodigious savings have prevented my needing to get loans. However it takes a hell of a lot of self control because I have bi-polar disorder so by nature I should have spent every cent I ever earnt and then some more. :razz:

    P.S. Are you a power ranger?

    Regards,
    Squilliam

    And we just got the extremely large bundle of fine print from the bank and are going through the numbers now, we may just be able to pull this off. :)

    Not sure yet, gotta close and get occupancy first. :razz:

    Just pulled the trigger on the whole thing, took the signed loan packet to the bank along with all the other paperwork stuff we need. :cool:

    I think we'll have about $2,800 left after we buy both houses, but it looks like we CAN afford it. :)

    The kids started their new school year yesterday at their new Crown Point schools. They both had good days and liked their new schools a lot, so it went as well as we could have hoped for. They're still a little nervous/shy/uncertain, but it's only their second day and at least they're giving it a chance. :)

    On the downside my mornings now start at 5:30am and I don't get back home and finally done dropping the kids off until about 9:40am and I think around 70 miles later. (Gonna reset my odometer on Monday to check, but that's pretty close)

    Gonna be a long freaking month. :???:

    No, I haven't moved yet. No, we haven't closed yet. YES, we still plan to and YES I'm still driving 80 miles a day commuting the kids.

    Waiting blows, life is sort of sucking. :(

    Our banker just called to tell me the sellers are panicking and thinking of pulling out, and could we hurry things up? After consulting with Barb (our lawyer) I got a bit unctuous and called the banker back and let him know when we thought we'd be ready and if they couldn't wait fine....there are plenty of other houses for sale out that way.

    Ooops, sorry. Missed this one. No, problems with clearing up an old credit card debt that screwed up our credit rating. No money owed, just didn't get something or other signed or faxed to the right people. Very annoying. :???:

    For up-to-date news, well I'm tired and I only get a little time for a nap so I'm just cut/pasting from my EB post:

    I really think it's good news, but commuting the kids to school so much has been rough and I'm just plain tired of doing it and am getting weary of the daily drill.

    Whew! Yeah, Friday at 3. Just had one more nasty hoop to jump through yesterday to make sure, apparently we need proof of insurance on the new house before we can buy it. I actually managed to get it and my wife managed to get the day off so she can make it, we are actually gonna do this now. :cool:

    Just got off the phone with the banker and got the final amount we'll need for closing, and it's 3-fucking-9% under what we expected! :shock:

    We're officially happy and excited now, any furniture recommendations? We can afford it now! :D

    I'm now waiting on the final call, the previous owners of the house called us Friday to let us know they were moving out this weekend and thought they'd be ready to turn over the keys on Monday. :D

    It might not happen tomorrow, but it'll be soon! I'm almost thinking of starting to pack. :yep2:

    The call came late last night, we get the house on Tuesday. Today I'm calling the utility companies to transfer all the accounts into our name. :)
