This feels almost un-American.
The only debt we have left is the mortgage and the house goes on the market today. The houses we are looking at in Pittsburgh we will be able to buy in cash with some left over. My student loans are gone. Our car is paid off. The motorcycle is paid off. The silly debt Noah had is gone. I thought Americans had to be in debt?
Not only are we not in debt we don’t live month to month. This is… creepy. How did this become my life? Ok, so this is going to get a lot less easy in a couple of months when we start noticing the lack of my salary, but we are going into this stage in the best way possible.
I am not poor anymore. I’m not broke anymore. I am unlikely to ever really get back to a place in my life where money is a problem.
It breaks my head.
That is pretty damned fantastic.
Pat yourselves on the DDA, girl.
To quote Jim: “Wow. That’s hot.”

My dad, the business school prof, finds himself in a constant tug of war, enjoy the fact that he’s paid off his 30 year mortgage and owns the house outright or get a low rate mortgage simply for the tax benefits.
Thats the only money we’ve ever owed. All cars were purchased for cash.
