For the past couple of years I have been working on paying off my mortgage and being debt free. My wife and I both wanted to do this. It was not always easy but we keep plugging away. Today was my last mortgage payment. We now own our house free and clear. We have no other debt.
For anyone reading this that is still on the path to being debt free. Don't give up. Is it hard at times but no matter what anybody tells you it is worth it.
No one knows what the future holds (Until the real President is back in office). We are very concerned that inflation is going to get really bad. Hopefully not having debt will make it easier to deal with rising prices.
Anyway once again. Thanks everybody.
Congratulations ! You have achieved what few people do now a days and you did it early enough to reap many yrs of enjoyment by not paying another dime to the bloodsucking “bankpires” and revel in being “untied to your house or a bank “ I am so very happy for you. I know of only a handful of people who achieved such success and they were all of my father’s 12 brothers and sisters and parents; some who swam, some walked and some were carried by siblings from Mexico in the late 30’s. They all went to school, became citizens, got good paying jobs, married, had children, never moved more than 10 miles from their parents or siblings, all fought in the war and none of them ever used the G.I. Bill for a house or education.To them it was wrong, it was like stealing. All my aunts & uncles and my parents have passed now but their children feel and acted like their parents as have their grandchildren. They saw an opportunity, grabbed it wholeheartedly, used it wisely and with great thanks, passed that onto the next generation. All 12 children passed on with their mortgages paid in full and life insurance for their family. My dad was cremated wearing his WWII survivor baseball cap, his AFL-CIO UNION Windbreaker and the only picture left of his whole family. It was passed down from oldest brother to next oldest survivor at their death as a remembrance of what their parents did and sacrificed for all of them. My father passed in August 2021, alone at 91, after working 36yrs in Aerospace, in a Covid restricted L.A. hospital all alone. They were the Greatest People, Parents, Husbands, Wives, Brothers, Sisters and Generation this Country will ever see. You 2 have joined a very special and unique club in history. I hope you enjoy every moment you have here on Earth. I know my family did. With hard work and sacrifice EVERYTHING is possible for EVERY American! You did it and Congratulations! God keep you safe and together❤️
That is an amazing comment. You should rightly be proud of your family story and you come from good stock.
It hurts my heart that your father passed alone. And it makes me so mad for the injustice. I’m so sorry. Your faith is strong and I can feel the love in your heart and your love of life. Great company on this board, fren.
Thanks for the reply. I cannot express to you how angry I feel about what happened to your dad and many others during "covid"
As far as I am concerned that was one of the most evil things that happened with covid.
It reminded me of a question that used to be asked years ago. How is it that the German people allowed so much evil to rule back in the 1930s?
You realize that America today is no different. There will always be people who will allow evil so that they can have comfort. The USA is the greatest country in the world so long as we keep evil at bay. We believe we have already won the fight but the battle still rages.
