This is when everything breaks, right?

[profile] bard_bloom and I have officially paid off our mortgage.

So yeah, we own this place, and the cash flow opens up a *lot*.

There are a lot of things that need fixing and repairing here still, and if we were smart we'd start putting some of the money that used to go toward monthly payments toward that. But I think first I will buy summer programs for [personal profile] projectmothra. And hats, and sushi. But not sushi hats.

Wow, congrats!!

But you can have Sushi Hat! http://www.crochetme.com/issue_1/sushi_tp_cover.html Or at least Sushi-Toilet-Roll-Cover that you could wear as a hat if you wanted to.

Huh. You know, with minor mods that could make a decent pillbox hat....

And then there's these...

Congrats!

Your first major expense should be a mortgage-burning party.

*nod*

And you may now paint your door red.

Congrats. We paid ours off a few years ago. It's a nice feeling.

Congratulations! Now it's time to sell it and move up to a bigger one!

Or not.

[identity profile] valdary.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well done.

Don't relax too much though, its awfully easy for that extra bit of income to be swallowed up in household expenses.

[identity profile] e-phemera.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Cool on the adult responsibilities well handled, but more cool on the sushi hat ideas.... :)

[identity profile] bikergeek.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hooray! Congratulations!

As of the 26th Jordan will have paid off a credit card that took him 6 years to pay off.

Great $WINTERHOLIDAY present!

[personal profile] rowyn 2009-12-22 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Woohoo! Congratulations! I've got seven or eight years left on mine, alas. Though there's still real estate taxes and insurance even when the mortgage is gone. I'm half-afraid I'll forget to pay those once the bank's not escrowing for them. c.c

Re: Great $WINTERHOLIDAY present!

[identity profile] beetiger.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
We've been paying those directly all through, so I'm used to paying them.

Ooh, that's pretty cool. So many mortages are federally-guaranteed or go through one of the FMs or another or are sold on the secondary market, all of which require escrow, that it's rare to find a lender who will let you pay it yourself. Nifty!

[identity profile] sandramort.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, how exciting!!! Congratulations!!!

Congratulations! Does that mean you're officially Responsible Adults now?
