financial aid and rants and raves

Well, I'm inching closer. The mortgage is ready, but the rate will probably be aroud 7.5 or even a tad higher. My credit, long a source of stress, is kicking my ass once more. Still, just a little work and I'll have all my paperwork in for the loan and I'll be ready to face the board. Even with the high rate, I'm coming out ahead, as I'll save on taxes. I'll be handing in the financial paperwork today, and I'll know more from there.
