random insane fact of the day

A co-worker (who works in a different group than I do so I don't know him very well) is getting a new "dream home" built, and word on the street is that once the house is finished his mortgage will be in the neighboorhood of $9,000 per month. That's nine thousand dollars per month. I'm not kidding. Pretty good engineer money, eh? Whatever...his wife has an MD and just became a partner at a psychiatry office. Still, though, nine grand? I like the guy and all, but there aren't words to describe how stupid that is.
