I enjoy this thread. And I'm starting to look at houses = i may even be able to identify even more closely with it. Although i'll probably do it without getting a job, not sure how having a mortgage to play will affect my poker mindset though....

congratulations. I never really understand why a ring should be a BIG expense - what are her views on this? malleable? Like, i'm not sure what sort of numbers you're talking here - but vs her being debt-free, or having another big mortgage chunk paid, or.....
