Members brbcsb Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Just sent a check to pay off my mortgage today, so we now own our house! It is not the newest, biggest, or fanciest around, but it is all ours. Knocked out a 30 year note in 6.5 years. I guess if i get GAS now, wife won't tell me no...not a bad christmas present.

Members ezstep Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 Like Kindness, wifey and I did that a few years ago. Awesome feeling. And it has lasted for a few years now, every single time we sit down and pay bills and get to skip that one! We used that monthly note to pay off all our other bills (medical, credit card, etc.) and don't owe anyone anything. Great feeling. Congrats!

Members brbcsb Posted December 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 was off dealing with kid for a bit....I live in a little town in East Texas, nearest town of size is Lufkin, we are in between Tyler and Houston. Not a real exciting place to live, but cost of living is cheap. What I paid for this house is maybe a down payment on houses in most parts of the country. No one makes great money here, but it evens out. Lot of good fishing/hunting in area, but, live music,etc is horrible, unless you like country music.

Members brbcsb Posted December 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 no, neither, I have a semi honest job. I just bought a cheap house and have been paying about 4 times the normal note for the last year to get it finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jasper383 Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 That's fantastic! Now, take the money you were using on the mortgage, and put it into savings. Open and fully fund Roth IRAs, your 401(k)s, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pickdust Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 Congrats mang! Gotta feel really good. Now have yourself a good old mortgage burning party! We were on our way to satisfying a 30 year note in 9.5 years but the wheels came off about a year ago......oh well .. Good on ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 Great! Man, can't wait till I'm there! Once I unload the condo on the market, I won't be far away from doing that myself. And in this economy, such a thought is incredibly comforting, way beyond anything the personal finance gurus can convince me about the benefits of carrying a mortgage!
