How am I going to do this? Well I will make my regular payment and a little over $1200.00 will go to principle. Then I will use my $5.00 savings I have been saving since Jan 1st, which is over $2000.00. Then I will get another payment form the studio owner for $500.00. I have my penny savings which should have a little over $500.00 in it. That will leave about a $700.00 balance which I will pull from my savings. That is my plan. Sometime in November I will have my house paid off.
Everything in the shop is done except patching three pairs of pants. They are all ready to go I just have to get in there. I am not going to take on any more work before I leave. It is a nice feeling to know that I am done with all those dresses.
The littles are here today, so they are keeping us hopping.
All my well made plans of having stew to take to my friends today has gone out the window as Hubs has eaten it down to almost nothing. So I pulled pork steaks out of the freezer. I have a really good recipe for pork, sweet potatoes, green peppers, pineapple and rice. I will make a large pot of this and I still have cookies left over for dessert. Really all I have to get done today is patch those pants and make up dinner, oh and make sure the littles don't kill each other. They have taken to fighting lately.
I guess I will get the laundry done. I really have no excuses.
What are you going to do today?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

I have talked to plumber, gotten online, serendipitously thrown out more plastic lids, watered my two flowers, eaten breakfast and lunch and have gathered things to go back to store. Oh, bathed and dressed...lol. Not much!
ReplyDeleteI think just getting plumbing issues taken care of in that house will help so much.
DeleteYAY FOR YOU!!!!!!! You are so darn close to pay-off. That is fantastic. You will do it in November - no doubt about it. You should be so stinking proud of yourself. I feel so much pride for you that I could bust!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful plan to have in place as you go on your trip.
Take care.
I am so excited, it will be such a huge load off and then I can tackle so many other things that need to be done around here.
DeleteUnbelievable!!!! Look at you go. You have come so, so far. I can't wait to see you tear up that mortgage note!
ReplyDeletewe are going to have a mortgage burning party!
DeleteYou're PRECIOUS!!!

Thanks D. Was that spoken in golom's voice?
DeleteWow - look at that shrinking mortgage, you are almost there, under 5000 and with the way clear to get it completely done by end of November. Brilliant so well done!
ReplyDeleteMaybe a well deserved celebration when you finally own your house?

We are going to have a party and actually born a fake mortgage document!.
Deleteoh how exciting!! you are so close now, and just in time for Christmas :)
ReplyDeleteI really almost have Christmas done except for the three son in laws.So now we can start getting this house fixed up.
DeleteOh my gosh! The house is almost paid! Well done! The little "monster" is indeed adorable. I like the horns on the hat, and those boots.
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty cute and his sister is just as cute. We love them but they do keep us hopping.
DeleteI have been so tempted to tell you to take money you have and pay it off. I just did not want to say anything to sway you and maybe it all go wrong.
ReplyDeleteI thought that also but know when you do that something always happens
DeleteTrust me I was so tempted but now I am happy with the way I have done it. I know the small amount of inheritance I have left would never get replaced if I used it.
DeleteI am so excited for you, Kim! I cannot wait to hear your debt free scream! You are blessed with some very cute kiddos!
ReplyDeleteWell I won't be debt free as we still have the car and the loan we took out for home improvement, but the car is at 0 percent and we have not touched the home improvement money so it can be repaid in an instant. We just want to sell the house in the spring and need cash to do many necessary things. But I will still feel debt free as the close to $3000 a month I have been plugging at the mortgage can be used to make home improvements.
DeleteI have laundry on the kitchen porch clothes line watching the dark clouds roll north of us. Dinner is in the frig to heat up. I am dressed and bed is made...got thunked my Daughter 4 and Hubby about RESTING...
ReplyDeleteDO I need to come there after my vacati0on and tie you to a bed or sofa? Because I will.
DeleteBlessings.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rue!
DeleteBoth of your grandchildren are adorable! I am so excited that you paid more on the mortgage and to think that you will pay it off next month is so exciting. All of your hard work is paying off. Have a wonderful trip!
