Yep, that sounds about right.
I don't feel bad about it nowadays, since I LBYM'd and worked overtime like a wild woman for 5 years to afford that little house, and buying it all by myself made me feel like a true adult.
I wasn't in that house too long before Mr. A. proposed, and next thing I knew, my little house was a rental and I was a landlord. We used the rent proceeds to pay it down enough to get rid of the PMI, and refinanced it at 9.3%. Back then, landlording seemed easier.

Don't feel bad. I just went back and checked our mortgages. DW and I got one in 1986 at 13% for a whopping 43k. Two prior mortgages with perfect payment history.
