As of March 1, 2004, I own my house.
Now that we have no mortgage payment, we can afford to renovate all three bathrooms (green fixtures, yucky tile, yucky lino, etc...).
Might even do a little landscaping!
Does the list of things to spend money on EVER end?
We're pretty proud of the fact that we bought the house five years ago (our first house, too) and got the mortgage paid off quickly. Of course, I don't have a Porsche anymore (guess where the proceeds from that sale went?) and since we bought "late" in life (33) we had a pretty hefty down payment thanks to being DINKS for many years. We renovated everything but the bathrooms, but did it all ourselves, so that really saved a lot of money.
It feels just as good as I thought it would...
