We were advised to pay it yearly because YES, you will sell that house and buy again because you will know a little better about wanting A. A bigger house, B A smaller house, C on water, D, not on water etc. etc. It is easier to move in TV, people do it all of the time.
Now Just think that your new, or used Camellia costs 250K and get on with it. Add more money for a view, or privacy, subtract if you want a smaller house and add if you want a bigger house. It doesn't matter a whole lot or not at all in price if the house is north or south of 466. The older houses have things added to them that you may or may not like.
If you are a nice person who likes to sit and have a glass of wine and laugh until your sides ache, please move close to us G's. We live in Hadley with a lot, but not all, of wonderful people.

Well, as usual, you hit the nail on the head Gracie!! When we signed for our house last month, we used your reasoning. If we decide to move one day, we sell it with the remaining bond. I'm sure there will be someone who will be willing to take on the balance and use the same justification we did. If we stay in the same house, (probably will, there for the lifestyle first, house second) then we'll probably pay it off. And although we're not close to you, we'll be in Buttonwood, and we are wonderful people the majority of the time who would love to meet you when we hopefully move down full time next year.
I'll try to avoid you on the days I'm not being wonderful!!
