LOL

Reminds me of when I purchased a work out vhs tape for my wife when she was pregnant with our second child. It was a pregnancy work out tape.

I didnt think much of it but the lady at the checkout took one look at me and then one look at the tape and asked "do these really work?"

What really freaks me out are the commercials for the sneakers that help tighten and shape your butt. It's filled with women walking away from the camera with tight little butts and tight little shorts, but the celebrity endorsement voice-over is Joe Montana saying how they help his posture.

How the hell does a sneaker help the shape of your butt?

lol

Depends how you insert it.

Okay, going away for awhile. Serious stuff. Top secret. Hush-hush. Keep the chaos levels high while I'm gone. And save some doughnuts for me, please. Enjoy!

I was doing a scanning session in my ongoing task to digitize all of my media including music, movies, books, financial info, photos, etc.

Anyway... I came across the original payment/amortization schedule for our mortgage. We have been striving to be debt free for a while now. The mortgage is the only loan we have left with an outstanding balance. So, we have been making extra principle payments each month as we can for several years now.

Anyway... I compared the schedule to our current balance and we owe about 46% of what the schedule says. If we continue with ONLY the scheduled payments our mortgage burning would be in 3 years or so. That would be 4 years ahead of the original 15 year schedule.

However we do plan to continue making extra principle payments. In todays economy it is the only risk free guaranteed interest you can get these days over a percent or two.

I'm so happy... can't wait to get this paid off an be debt free. (well, we will probably be ready for a new vehicle at that point. Kinda not buying new cars until the mortgage is discharged.)

Congrats on nearly achieving your goal!
Being debt free is a great feeling. We paid off our 30-year mortgage early just before the recession hit. On the one hand we own the house free and clear. On the other, we'll never sell it in our lifetimes!

But it IS a nice secure feeling!

Banging my head against a wall, metaphorically speaking

recluse · 07-03-2010, 09:49 PM

And why is my little Am banging her head against a wall, metaphorically?

Personally, I find doing it literally very soothing.

In the wrong thread to explain fully

But I've just been trying to referee between two posters on another forum who are almost, but not quite, talking about the same thing, and at least one of them can't see that they're talking about something very slightly different.

Doing it literally tends to give me a headache. And at this time of the morning it would be utterly antisocial to subject my neighbour to that kind of noise. (As a general rule, I prefer to be as unaware as possible that I even have a neighbour, and therefore extend to him the same courtesy. Thankfully, the current chap next door is very easy to forget about)

recluse · 07-03-2010, 10:38 PM

Sounds frustrating.

Just so long as you are okay.
You know how I worry.
