I fear that today I more or less bought a house, the papers haven't been signed yet but after a quick talk with mortgage-guy this morning and a quick:"WTF does this mean"-session with my mum at my parents' place, I managed to get myself a mortgage at a pretty good rate, it will kick up my monthly cost of living by at least 200 euros a month but I guess I'll survive. Guess I'll have to start working extra hard to earn myself a nice pay-raise :-)
