Thanks for the kind words. I want to get rid of the house at the same time I quit working. My mortgage is pretty steep. "Other people's money", right? I came in with only 5% down and the mortgage takes one full paycheck every month and I am left with the other paycheck per month for all other expenses. I'm not complaining. (This is the overly simplified version. It's a bit more complex than this.) I have more than enough and am very blessed, or fortunate, however you want to view it.
Besides, there is just me and my two little doggies. We don't need a four-bedroom, three-car garage, two-story 2,850 square foot house. The place was purchased as a retirement investment, and now that I'm close to retirement, it's time to cash out.
The plan is falling nicely together, despite the economic turmoil of the past decade. The only thing that will really muck it up is a total economic collapse, similar to what Greece is going through right now. Could happen, and some people predict that this is where we are headed. Who really knows? I'm not too worried, at least to the point where I'm losing any sleep over it.
