Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Calculating that: it’s about $1300/month, in 1996 dollars, which with inflation would be $2600 today. And you almost certainly refinanced in the 2000s when interest rates dropped like a stone. This is what my parents paid for the same neighborhood I live in.
Mine is $3600 and I “lucked out” with a 2.65% interest rate. The difference is mostly because the home values increased 10x in that time (vs. the 2x of inflation).
