2 of our three vehicles are paid for.

That's a real money-saver. I have not had a car payment in nine years, and when I do buy a new one it will be for cash. My husband paid his off four years ago, and he'll buy his new one for cash. As long as we don't have to buy them both at the same time, we're all set! :)

[QUOTE=Rebel Yell;52 We have a fixed rate mortgage with a monthly payment of $270. [/QUOTE]

I can't even begin to imagine. I paid $500 rent in my first apt. years ago.

The last time I paid rent on an apartment it was $615/month. In 1986.

In all fairness, the house belonged to my grandmother for 40 years before I bought it.

My house is paid for along with my car. It is great to be debt free. I was thinking about buying a Corvette several months ago and financing about 1/3 of the cost. Glad I did not with the downturn in the stock market. Today my stocks are up around 6%; got a ways to go though.

Good ‘gut check’, old man. If those stocks are well diversified - you’ll be fine. Now that the American taxpayer gets to cover all that bad real estate paper.

Headed to the doctor, keep blinky under control!:D

Ohhh. That explains it then.

TOTD: I have faith that every single book written by hardcore horror master Edward Lee will never, ever disappoint me, and that is true. Reading Brides of the Impaler right now and it ROCKS.

I have faith that the Pittsburgh Steelers will continue to have a successful season this year...or at least cinch the AFC North Division because the Ravens, Browns, and Bengals ALL suck this season.

You are an idiot.

But yes, Tristan will be taller than you.
