Just another number... but numbers count!

You've heard the phrase... we are all just another number. We all have traits and situations that obviously make us more than a number but for the sake of the phrase. We ARE all just another number. Our whole world is about numbers, numbers are used for our paychecks, used with the Census, the IRS, the Schools, the Government, and on and on and on. Everything boils down to numbers. I hated math in school, I hated that everyone especially my math teacher told me that I would need it in the real world. I tried hard to make that a very false statement, but sadly I now have an addiction to numbers, I married my job 4 years ago and the marriage needed math and numbers to survive. My job pays the bills (another group of numbers, some of them are not pretty).

I love my job, well I better, I married it! I help decipher the crazy world of everyone's most expensive bill - there mortgage. There are a lot of fine lines, a lot of numbers, and a lot of stress when it comes to ones house. Right now its "month end" meaning your last push to close every loan that is close enough to fund. It helps those who didn't make their payment because they knew they were refinancing and spent their mortgage on other things and to avoid a derog reporting to another important number maker... their credit report, we must close their new deal! Month end is always a good time for a home buyer to move into their new home or just in time to get that cash-out to pay the bills for the month quickly coming around the corner.
There is the magic number of your rate too, that is determined by your credit and determines how much that mortgage payment will be. You see where this could go? crazy. I sometimes wish my stress and love of alcohol came from an occupation that was more life saving like a Fireman or ER doctor. To some I am a life saver, a marriage saver, a stress saver, and a bank account. For them I raise my glass. Cheers to my career, my number loving career!
