Just curious as, in hindsight, we wouldn't have spent as much as we did. The poll's anonymous.

$330K in September 06. Slightly over our planned budget - but definitely worth it

Yea - correct - unfortunately you can't edit polls once you've made them or I'd have fixed it immediately.

OK, I have been here a long time - $45k. I can remember well, looking aghast when the price for most houses soared to $100k and I wondered how all those poor folk managed their mortgage payments because in the days of high interest it was like you paid and paid and never knocked anything off the darned principal anyway.
