In a nut shell, we sold our home in another state while renting in the state we live in now. We wanted another home but not another mortgage so we got creative and purchased a really old and dilapidated house, moved it onto a lot we purchased that had a burned out house on it (we tore down the burned out house) patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570517928939568824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-2515366514614138232021-11-12T21:50:55.879-05:002021-11-12T21:50:55.879-05:00Debbi, thank you!Debbi, thank you!patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570517928939568824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-1085527936906517112021-11-12T21:50:22.944-05:002021-11-12T21:50:22.944-05:00Kathy, thank you!

It took us 2 extra years beyond that to be mortgage free in 2016. It is wonderful to enjoy the fact that our home is ours free and clear and the money paid to a mortgage can be used to enjoy our retirement comfortably.http://peacefulheartopenmind.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/08279278257540919011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-22412844664243365642021-11-09T22:53:33.850-05:002021-11-09T22:53:33.850-05:00Yeah, what an exciting thing for you.

I skimmed through the posts in this series & they all seem to be remodeling type posts...not about a mortgage? So I guess I'm missing something there. <br /><br />I do agree with you on being mortgage free as soon as you can.

I'm on the savings train right now. My central heat and air unit is now 15+ years old and, while still working well, the service technician as reminded me for the last two service cycles that the lifespan of these units is 15-20 years.

It is life changing to be sure. You'll have some adjusting to do with this unit. It will not be the warm heat you've always lived with but I know you'll adjust in time.<br /><br />It is truly awesome to do projects with cash be they big or small. We've lived this way for decades and we're just 60 this year.<br /><br />GodEllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918153566288679035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-33359969240502137502021-11-09T10:59:05.102-05:002021-11-09T10:59:05.102-05:00BaggysMama, I'm glad your AC made it through t...BaggysMama, I'm glad your AC made it through the summer.

My large window unit died at the very end of this summer and, like you, I live where air conditioning in the summer is not a luxury but a necessity. I hope to replace the large window unit and possibly get a smaller one for the bedroom. I'm so glad you were able to get a central unit!BaggysMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303858083148435156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-59458063945138976842021-11-09T10:20:24.679-05:002021-11-09T10:20:24.679-05:00Lana, thank you!Lana, thank you!patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570517928939568824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-57674513711153611492021-11-09T10:01:16.514-05:002021-11-09T10:01:16.514-05:00Yay!
