Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Some of the things we work on, , just to make the wife happy! Just getting started.

 

We all appreciate you not being negative.

 

I feel like there's a pun in there, but maybe I'm just thinking outside the box here...

 

Maybe...

 

On the real estate front, my grandparents sold their camp they built in the 60s in the early 1990s. It was on a 12 mile long, 1 mile wide lake, an absolutely beautiful spot I still go to whenever I can take the fam, although only by boat because I could never afford property there. What did they sell it for? $40,000.

 

Well… Western Washington is absolutely crazy right now. There is not enough houses on the market. Our 2700 sq ft 2 story split level was purchased 13 years ago for $245,000. Similar 2500 sq ft house around the corner just listed for $700,000 and has multiple offers. We will hold on to ours. I believe the best retirement is a paid off mortgage. We are on track to pay her off by the time I retire in 5-7 years. Currently sitting on a 2.62% rate.

 

I grew up in a very rich entitled town in the 80s, even before that type of attitude became more common. Being the town freak I developed a quick hatred for that type and a love for busting their balls.

Double check me re the application but I used Nevr Dull wadding polish as a building cleaner and that stuff worked great on brass rails among other things.

 

You’re correct, my encounter:

Only with one has his way!

 

try to stay current. your comments aren't very energizing.

 

We paid $175,000 for our first house in 1990. It would be $1,000,000+ now.

 

The '24 Tacomas cost more than my house did. May need some 30 year car loans soon.

 

You ain’t kidding!

 

Out in the middle of BFE...

 

I spent the weekend down in Florida for my niece's wedding, it was a lot of fun seeing family I don't get to see nearly often enough. I drove my Taco down to FL loaded to the hilt on Thursday and sold it my nephew @TyBud850 on Friday. So the sad part is I don't own a Tacoma anymore, heck right now I don't even own a truck.

 

I just thought about that...

Our house in Mississippi was $65K. My '24 was $44K OTD... Well, you're not wrong there

 

Morning all have a great day

 

Tighten up all, fiscal year something something coming up. Whatever dot com...

What's next Mike?
Lucky nephew...

 

Good for your nephew! Good for you!

How’d you get home without a vehicle?

Good morning everyone, I hope you have a bearable Monday

 

That's why I'm so conflicted on selling. Current mortgage is 3.25%, a little higher due to being a USDA, but still low. If I keep this house I'll be 62 when it's paid off if I keep with all 360 months. It'll be just fine for me by myself, so I don't know. I know I'll have to get a HELOC to repair the septic and well system, I don't dare dip into my 401K which has more than double what I would need for those repairs, but I know I'll need that in the end. I don't like this adulting crap!
