Your insight is good. It has to be so heartbreaking to have their sons dying in the street wars, just when they feel like they've found safety. I hope you liked the book.

What captures me in this book, as opposed to >The Spirit Catches You< is the universals of humanity --the love of the grandmother, sisterly rivalry, etc., that Yang describes. What was most disturbing is that the killing of war and the incarceration in a refugee camp becomes the routine way of life for her family. The hope of many Hmong families is to die a natural death, not a death inflicted by war. In the last chapter of the Latehomecomer.

You said you would be able to pay off the credit card. Let's suppose you bought a pair of shoes on that credit card. Now instead of paying off those shoes in let's say a year. You will be paying for those shoes for the next 30 years by lumping it into the refinance loan. Now think about how much interest you would pay for those shoes for the next 30 years. Were those shoes that valuable to you? A refinance loan is a smaller payment in the short run, but it is usually larger costs in the long run. You are in a financial marathon. Marathons are long. I would stay in the long term frame of mind. Make decisions that would help you in the long run.
