Mrs. Readsalot Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The house is paid for The car is paid for We have no consumer/credit card debit Wow what a great feeling We have worked very hard to get here...pay extra on our mortgage whenever we had extra. Dh did a lot of side work. We paid for our house in 8 years. In some ways I don't know if it has sunk in yet. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyGrace Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 What a great feeling! I just ordered Total Money Makeover from the library. It's nice to see what the end of that road looks like! What a blessing it will be for you, especially in our uncertain economic times. How long did it take you from start to finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Readsalot Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 What a great feeling! I just ordered Total Money Makeover from the library. It's nice to see what the end of that road looks like! What a blessing it will be for you, especially in our uncertain economic times. How long did it take you from start to finish? We have been married for 18 years. We have never had consumer debt (ie pay off our credit card every month) We are living in our 3rd home and have always paid down on the mortgage each house has been a bit nicer than the previous house. We don't plan to move again until my dh retires in about 12 years. ie we have as much house as we need or want and it is in a wonderful location We have owned 3 new cars during our marriage and always pay them off within two years of buying them. Dh has a compnay vehicle for work. I really a bit bad feeling so happy given the difficult economics times. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. Readsalot Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 :party: but party frugally :) OK so the extent of our party was going out to a very nice Mexican restaurant(it is a wonderful place and the prices are amazingly low we paid under $50.00 for 3 people). We don't go out to eat much and this was a real treat for us. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2abcd Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Congratulations!!! We've been married 22 years and just had to take on some debt for graduate school. Otherwise we had no debt. But we don't own a home so you're ahead of us there. That's fabulous! It's a great feeling, isn't it, to owe no man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Congratulations to you! It's a great feeling ~ and a blessing ~ to be debt-free, isn't it? Last year on New Year's Day (2007), after paying off our farm, we made a bonfire back by the river and burned our mortgage.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
