Ron on TV! (sorta..)

Last weekend Ron got a call from the CNBC TV show "On The Money" saying that they wanted to air a question he had submitted via email about our finances (ie- my student loan burden), and whether or not we should take on a mortgage. They called yesterday afternoon to record it, and it aired last night! I had no idea that it was a National TV show, I thought it was something local. We were at dinner last night, and a friend of mine called me and said "Did you know that Ron is on CNBC right now??".

He claims he didn't know when it would be airing...but I think that's just his modesty coming through! =)

Not to spoil it, but good news...they said we should go ahead with buying a house! Yay! We're planning to start looking in December, and will hopefully be in the house by May (when our lease is up).

Here's a link to the show: http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=829736131
(and just FYI...since they pretty much put it all out there for the wide world, just wanted to let you know that the salary they label is our "estimated take home" after I get a job...not Ron's salary now! I wish!!).
