person A: We sold our house last year and received above asking price_comma_ which was unexpected
person B: Nice!  Did you use that extra to do anything special?
person A: Honestly_comma_ we paid off debt and a couple furnishings. The new house is very peaceful by comparison
person B: That's probably the best choice.  I was thinking you could use it to spruce up a new place a bit_comma_ which it sounds like you did :)
