Completely off topic but....

I've had a fan-friggen-tastic day!!

At 2:15PM today, I made the final payment on my house, and completed the paperwork for the deed to the property.

At 2:16PM today, I did the "no mortgage" dance!!! (right in front of the lawyer)

I did that 20 years ago. I was amazed at how much extra money I seemed to have when I didn't need to make house payments - but then, my mortgage's interest rate was 11.5%!

Man, I am SO jealous!!!!

I ended up refinancing my house 3 times during periods of extended unemployment almost 10 years ago and am back to a 30-year loan with more than 20 years still remaining....

Yea, I feel free. No credit card debt, no house payment, kids finished school, vehicles all paid for.

Got it all done before age 55.

Welcome aboard, and congrats!

I wish I had a house that was paid for, but renting isn't all that bad. Someone else can deal with making (and paying for) repairs.......
