        what's your plan if something bad happens? -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:42 7
        
        I have a safety net. (nm) - nubby Jul 1, 13:45 1
        
        so it's not really P2P. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:47
        
        perhaps he needs to start a secret program where his students provide him with meals - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:43 4
        
        I'm just saying, if you go into the deal stretched to the max, you are totally effed if anything should happen. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:44 3
        
        Exactly. - nubby Jul 1, 13:55 1
        
        I would not do it. I spent too many years on the financial edge. never again. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 13:57
        
        oh I understand what you are saying - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:47
        
        aww, so the bank is making it cost more than you thought? - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:37 2
        
        Yeah, I've got all the numbers, I just have to decide if I want to do it. -- nm - nubby Jul 1, 13:38 1
        
        tough call really. - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:41
        
        If you think the place has value in the short-term, I say go for it. - Will Hunting Jul 1, 13:37 6
        
        You should see my spreadsheet. It's fabulous. -- nm - nubby Jul 1, 13:38 5
        
        but does it include vegas 2010? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:40 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        dont forget the "nubby house drinking tax" of up to $0.25 per litre of liquor consumed while staying at the nubby house. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 1, 13:42 2
