Actually for us it was incidental. No brainwashing about it. We knew up front before buying our lot what the bond cost was going to be. It was a price we were willing to pay to be able to build a house with the design features we wanted. And yes, we spent many a dinner discussing how much we were willing to spend. Where we wanted to build. What we wanted to build and when we wanted to move.
This is a huge life event for us. Not only are we building a house but we also decided to retire. I've sold my business and my wife has given her two week notice. We have sold our house and we're moving about as far as we possibly can while still remaining in the continental U.S. So when taken in context the bond wasn't a big deal to us.
