Hee! Theinev, you are adorable. Yes, I'm Sicilian and Irish, but not northern Irish. I was referring to my Individual Retirement Account (Roth is post-tax, not a tax sheltered investment account), not the Óglaigh na hÉireann.

I was actually kidding. just for the record. I assumed it was a... a financial thing. I just found the coincidence of acronyms funny.

If it's any consolation, I'd be in a much better position financially if I hadn't bought my first house when I was 22.  We sold it six years later for $1000 less than what we paid for it.  Not including taxes, interest, maintenance, and improvements -- including $1500 worth of new carpet we installed six months ago -- so we'd have lost considerably less on the deal if we'd just paid rent for six years.  And we wouldn't have had to suffer through almost three years of living in a home we could be thrown out of at a moment's notice because somebody's mother decides they want to check the place out for the third time this week, just for kicks. 

(In my state, the seller's not supposed to be home during a showing.  So I had to pick up my kid and leave in the middle of the day, several times a week, as well as keeping the place looking like nobody lived here despite having an active toddler.  Highly stressful.) 

Also, you got to live in Hawaii for -- what, ten years?  That is a cool thing for your kids.  Way cooler than living in a house with a yard, which you then have to mow, which IMHO is overrated. 

Five years during which we have gotten hopelessly into debt and plowed through my retirement. I'll be working until I'm 80 unless this GS-14 job in Cleveland comes through.

Oh you're good alright. We just haven't established how good.
