Today, we made the call to inform our mortgage company we are ready to pay the house off and to calculate the final payment for Monday, December 2nd, 2024.
We never intended to be homeowners again but after our longtime landlord died in 2019 and the price of renting had ballooned since we first started renting our last place, it was easier and cheaper to buy than rent, esp on our fixed income.
We got our 20-year mortgage in May 2019 and been saving, scraping by, doing without, paying on the mortgage principal, keeping old tech and not upgrading, minimum streaming and tv/internet packages, etc, to get it paid off before Penny turned 65-years old. We beat that goal.
We're behind schedule a few months due to Penny's heart attack but we are here now.
