Title: Being and doing . . . not having
Post by: ohana on June 09, 2015, 12:10:56 PM

All the hurdles have been jumped over, and next Friday we sell our giant money-sucking house and buy a tiny condo.  Condo is perfect for us as we are away for work 3 months a year, and intend to sail another two months a year starting next year. 

Feels great!

I just wired the portion of our payment for this condo that's not coming from the house proceeds -- and realized that as of tomorrow we're DEBT FREE.  Completely, gloriously, absolutely (and hopefully endlessly) without a penny owed to another, especially corporate America.  Ha!

MMM and this forum has been instrumental in my moving away from "having" and towards "being and doing".  Thanks all.

Wonderful!  I have often thought I get to choose between an extra fancy house or an extra fancy life...  Right-sizing your home is a wonderful feeling.

Thanks everyone!  Nice to be able to tell someone without them thinking I have a trust fund or something.
