A decent impression of responsible adulthood

[davidn]

I've just made an appointment at the bank to talk about getting pre-approved for a home mortgage on Friday. I can't describe how quietly terrifying this is - it's only been a couple of weeks since I last watched a Disney film. And I still have a Livejournal account. And we've already had various replies from an online aggregator site of estate agents who are very keen to move us into our first property. I never thought I'd be doing that outside of playing Monopoly.

I think my age and life state are advancing at about double the rate of my mind.

Y'know, I wanted to give you some kind of "Take it from a mortgage-already-haver!" worldly advice, but... I still can't quite make sense of it either. "And there's my deduction for the cable TV, and there's my deduction for the porn sites, and there's my deduction for the mortgage."
