I've been mortgage a debt free for over 10 years. All it took was a couple of good investments in property flips and the ability to build my current home all by myself. |

Now, people used to throw mortgage-burning parties where they watched their paid-up mortgage turn into smoke . . nowadays, you are a financial outlier if you pick this route. Several people told us that paying the mortgage off was a terrible move. A financial planner, and a well-meaning relative with many great investments. But having your money in your house - and the freedom it gives you to live life - is what some choose. 4.5 years left for me. I agree with you. I will be debt free before 50.

I have always been a fan of Heinlein, then I re-read it all and while I enjoy the science fiction aspect of his writing, I find he is a pervert. Property taxes are not rent. I am happy to pay them. I use the roads. I use the police all the time, to remove neighborhood kids from the pastures, and to set up speed traps on our road for retarded hot-rodders. I have kids in different schools, and those schools need financial support. Shit, I still get to keep my AG exemption. 17 bucks in taxes for 1/2 million square feet last year, in the middle of Houston haha. As to the 300 or so bucks I need to put away each month to cover my yearly insurance and other taxes. I DONT GIVE A FUCK. I take home more than that in a post breakfast stretch of work from my couch. Ill tell you what I don't have though... Debt. Bitch. And to all those people that sent me good wishes, I pray God grants you all good fortune, long life, and a lack of loneliness. Hell, even the ill-wishers - Good luck, peeps. Remember the longer you have a bad attitude, the longer it takes to get rid of...

I'd keep it repaired though and might want to think about moving ASAP if the neighborhood is going down. Get out while getin"s good. You could alway buy now and if it takes a while to sell you won't have double notes to pay. Also, when you do sell, put it all on the new place. Believe me once things start going down hill in an area it's not going to get better. Anyways 10 years old isn't that old to relocate and better now than when he or she is a teenager. |
