Certainly you know them...

People that wake up everyday to sunshine regardless of the actual weather, whose lives look peachy perfect b/c of their demeanor, whose energies and smiles motivate you or make you want to strangle them...
Or do you?

Again....like what?
I guess you missed when I said things that would be physical and mental that you might not be able to do when you are older.
Yes, IIRC you refinanced, so you'll be paying more that 30 years .
I'm sorry, I didn't know you knew my finances. lol
I literally LOL over the irony is that comment.

Well, JamBlessed, I think that adjective pretty much describes our family's lifestyle. We have been quite careful and deliberate about spending money and acquiring things. We waste very little, often buy second-hand. We seldom go out to eat unless we are traveling. We do have some splurges, now that our savings/investment goals are pretty much met. We used to spend about 30% of our income a year. A few years ago it hit about 40%, not including college expenses.
Sorry to hear that you needed to be so frugal for so many years that others could accomplish when they were younger.
Faulty memory again. See, I told bord that a television was involved!

Our mortgage used to be in the neighborhood of $1300 a month, but we usually tried to pay at least $1500, and some months $2000 or more. We were fortunate and able to pay our mortgage off in six years.
How much was your home when you purchased it?
I kind of like that my paid off home is worth twice as much as you said your, apparently not paid off, home is worth. Admitedly, I am 15 yrs older, so you may catch up.
2k was not a big deal in our take home, though it is nice to have now that we have college expenses.
Really? I don't remember that, I might have said your comments sound like jealousy, but then passive agressive insult usually tend to sound that way. Given that you use quite a number of words to insult others, are you saying those are close to you? Interesting, I will remember that the next time you call me lovely names as you did in another thread.
PumpkinAngel
Nah, I think it's just your poor memory. :)
PumpkinAngel
Yes, we all remember your introduction. Your complete budget.
You've lived there a long time now, is it paid off or close?
PumpkinAngel
It depends. For a 20 million dollar house, $2000 is not a lot. For a 10 year mortgage versus a 30 year one, not a lot either. It would also depend on the salary of the family, for some it's a lot and some it's not.
Differences...are....beautiful!
PumpkinAngel
No I read that...but you still haven't defined what "things" those are.

But you also paid twice as much as I did for my home.
Again, you make it sound like careful and prudent spending is a bad thing, lol.
