We paid off our house today! And unlike the other houses we paid off in the past there is no way we will have the mindset we had back then, namely, as soon as we paid off a house we would immediately start looking for our next bigger and better house (which meant bigger house payments). These days, if we can't pay cash for something, we don't buy it and that includes cars and houses. So for now, we are happy with our newly paid off house and when we do decide to downsize, or buy a single-level house, it will be a cash-only transaction.
The nice lady at the mortgage company, as soon as she took our last payment, asked if we would be looking at getting a new mortgage soon but before she could finish her sentence, I said "noooo we're debt freee". And we intend to stay that way!
On an unrelated note, the full moon tonight (see photo above) is the Beaver Moon, the last super moon of the year, and there will also be a meteor shower this weekend!
Congrats on having a paid off house. Isn't it nicer now that it's all paid for? Mine shore felt different, the last one we had a mortgage on. 8-)
ReplyDeleteIt definitely has a better feel now when we look at it!
DeleteWhen I paid off my house and car in the same month, I was ecstatic. However, I never thought of buying another. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteWow paying off a house and a car in the same month is amazing!
