With my almost two-year-old son on my lap and my newborn daughter in her bouncy seat on the floor next to my feet, the math saga continues. This second week has given me a boost of confidence. I comprehended everything in this week's chapter. I'm not a hardcore Celine Dion fan, but in her words, "It's all coming back to me now."
With that being said, I love formulas! Maybe I always have enjoyed formulas, or maybe it's just my Type A personality. I like to have one way to do things...the RIGHT way. Formulas help my solidify my stubbornness. The most refreshing concept from this week was standard deviation. After completing a few problems, I felt like I was in high school again and hadn't missed a beat.

I cruised through the interest questions as that is what my life is being consumed by at the current moment. My husband and I have been trying to figure out which things we should put more money toward based on interest rates. We were lucky enough to finance our new home at 4.75%. However, upon further examination, this will cost a lot of money! (126,500 * 0.475%) * 30 years= $180,262 in interest. Ouuuuch! I think I'll be paying that one off early!
