Amen to that!

We bought a house with no bond. We paid $38K less for the house than the owners paid when it was new (house+bond). The paid-off bond was a bonus, but what we really liked was the extreme privacy; 100+ empty acres behind us, smack dab in the middle of TV, that will never be built upon.

Got a pretty nice golf cart and some furniture too. The house was hardly lived in but we have renovated it to our taste and liking.

No mortgage payments, no bond payments, no credit card payments, and no car payments. WE'RE DEBT FREE! We're already living in TV. The lovely Diane is retired and I will be retired mid-year. Dreams do come true if you work hard enough!
