Yep. I wish we were closer to having ours paid off and could do the same. I'm so jealous! We still owe 30k (29,900!) and that puts it right out of our reach. So we are going to drag it out and try to invest in other things that will make us feel more prepared for what will come. The pantry is stocked up good. Now the hubby wants to build a proper deck on the roof so he can hunt squirrel off the second floor balcony. I might just let him!

Gonna check out your home page!

Yea, but you’re so cool, you can do it. Just STOP spending money on ANYTHING that doesn’t pay for itself. For example, the McDonald’s Dollar Menu, at least for their McDouble, in my book, pays for itself (not just the cost of food, but the energy to cook it and the cost to clean up)...so good investment. But fries, and especially, drinks, NO WAY. And don’t even get near eating out (other than McDoubles) during work, or Starbucks.

It’s a lifestyle change, but only for a short time. Live like crap...look at what it really costs for food that good enough to live on...and go with that. Pasta and rice is still cheap. Mix it with some other (better) stuff and you’re set.

Keep at it!!! At 30K you’re in the HOME STRETCH. Push it through and the payment is GONE...maybe very soon (and make sure they send you the lien release).
