Why would anyone want to live in DC?

Are you buying it for the front lawn or the dartboard?

[chuckbass]

9 1/2 St.

Tbf it is in a really good location if you frequent U street. A one minute walk home from Nellie's is 180.

The dartboard really ties the room together.

I refi'd my loans and now that they are at 3.5%, I've decided it doesn't make sense to fuck my retirement. So I'm maxing my 401k and looking to buy a house.

How long did you have to extend the repayment term?

[toothbrush]

Yep that's the one

How long did you have to extend the repayment term?

10 years from when I started the sofi loans. I can prepay if I want. But I can cop dat 401k deduct without worrying about return.

At least you're married so you don't need an awesome place like that in order to impress chicks.
