Rented for 2012, purchased a 970 sq ft house in December that year. Been remodeling as we go.

Just
finished our kitchen and ran the numbers on it to see how we fared on our
estimated budget ($300 below!). Got to thinking and decided to run the numbers
since we started tracking with Mint.

Holy-o-crap. That's a lot of money.

Not sure I would change a thing. Just pretty sobering to see it like this.
