Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
After I recovered from the flash of terror at the thought of a 5k monthly mortgage payment, I was struck by how different the FIRE tribe is from the populace.
I nearly died when my neighbour confided in me that they were trying to refinance their mortgage but having problems getting the deal over the line. Their monthly mortgage payments were $9k a month which scared the crap out of me. I would not be able to sleep at night knowing I had that amount coming due on a monthly basis.
