Hope you had a full nights sleep that first night! You should be proud; I can't say the same for being debt-free now, but I did take my time & wait for it with (hopefully) not too much debt (still pending; still building). Uncle Marty built his with cash. Great job; now fill it up!Sister number 5noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-31061748021547329182010-03-24T08:42:54.833-04:002010-03-24T08:42:54.833-04:00Joni,

They want everything right now - with eyes bigger than their wallets, LOL. I am soooo glad that we are totally debt-free, including our mortgage, and we're quite proud to be building our new home with cash. It took decades of sacrifices and careful savings to get to this point. But it's how we were able to retire early and enjoy life a bit!<br /><br />Your son is doing it right! Three cheers for him! God bless you for teaching him the blessings of thrift and God bless him for listening!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-35738055558735028532010-03-23T07:04:26.139-04:002010-03-23T07:04:26.139-04:00My son just did the same thing!

It was ready to move in with just a paint job, but he and Dad decided to tackle a couple other jobs that needed to be done eventually. Our boy officially moved in a couple of months ago and turned 21 on Sunday. We're pretty proud! And, on top of that, when his property taxes weren't lowered enough, he went in front of the board of review and just received notice that those will be dropped even more. His house payment will be even lower! So, he can get it paid off sooner that he thought! <br />Congratulations on your boy! They don't come along very often anymore!! :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858720522828231380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-3089437556511741662010-03-23T06:52:40.780-04:002010-03-23T06:52:40.780-04:00You should be very proud of your son, and a big hu...You should be very proud of your son, and a big hug to you mom for raising this fine young man.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01886113177048974899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-61508376257173689282010-03-23T06:50:30.152-04:002010-03-23T06:50:30.152-04:00What a wonderful story...How wise and diligent you...What a wonderful story...How wise and diligent your son has been.

He purchased his house for 31K less than it appraised for, and he too has plans to pay it off in 10 years. <br />I know how proud you are of him, boys like that are rare today. ;DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642967022028132751noreply@blogger.com
