We paid off our house

[Begonia]

This is a huge milestone! Congrats!!!!

Thank you @diamondyes!

 

[Begonia]

Congrats! I’m sorry your friends and family won’t be happy for you. That says a lot about them.

People are sure complicated. Thank you so much.

 

[Begonia]

Congrats!!! It's so nice to see such good news nowadays...
Won't your dentist see you on a rush basis??
OMG, there's nothing worse than tooth pain!

We sure are relieved! I finally got in to the dentist a couple of days ago - there was dome confusion about which tooth, so we had to wait a bit until it was painfully apparent who the rock star was. Uggh.

 

[Begonia]

This is amazing, a big congratulations on a huge accomplishment.

In the spirit of keeping this thread positive, I won’t comment on the “friends”

People are "funny", I agree. Thank you for being happy w i t h me!

 

[Begonia]

This is great news. Reducing debt is priceless.
Don't let others bring you down, this is a great accomplishment!

I hate debt, so I agree! Good advice! Thank you!

Congratulations! What a huge accomplishment you should be proud! I'm sorry your friends dont see all the daily sacrifices you have made to get here!

Awww, thank you!! Choices eh?

 

[Begonia]

Wonderful news, congratulations!

Thank you! We're kinda stunned tbh LOL.

 

[Begonia]

That's awesome Begonia!! I'm so happy for you!!

Awww, thank you.
Thank. You.

 

[Begonia]

Congratulations @Begonia it’s a big step, and a big relief I’m sure.

Thank you.
It really is! Neither of us have great paying, secure jobs. We've got the house and some savings so that's good!

 

[Begonia]

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thank you!!!

 

[Begonia]

Congratulations, @Begonia! A testament to a lifetime of self discipline and wisdom.

Thank you mrs!
(Maybe a bit of that. Easy to not spend when you don't have any money after bills. Well easy for some I guess? Credit cards are so tempting!)

 

[Begonia]

Congrats to you! It definitely is an amazing feeling to be rid of such an expensive debt every month. I understand your hesitation to share such with people irl. It's amazing how the green-eyed monster can show its ugly head, especially from ones who are quick to lecture about working too hard, or not "enjoying life". Been there.

Right???
Like your d@mned if you do and d@mned if you don't.
(Thank you!!)

 

[Begonia]

I say congratulations to you!

Thank you!

 

[Begonia]

Congratulations! Your dedication and sacrifice is admirable. Don’t let others dull your sparkle, what others think is irrelevant.

Wise words!
Thank you!!

 

[Begonia]

Congratulations, Begonia! What a great accomplishment!

Awww, thank you. It's nice to be able to share it here!

Mazel Tov @Begonia!

Thank you my friend!
Thank you.

 

[Begonia]

Congratulations.

Thank you!
I just wanna buy a big bloody diamond some days ya know?
Paying off the house has me sleeping better at night tho...

 

[Begonia]

Congratulations! That is a huge accomplishment!

Awww, thank you!!!

 

[Begonia]

Congrats! I think owning your house/property or land is more important than bling.

I agree!
Wants and needs...
Thank you!!

 

[Begonia]

How wonderful! Congratulations!

Awww, thank you!!!

 

[Begonia]

Congratulations! Now you can start saving for "fun" stuff

Sigh...
Saving for retirement now. Always another need. I do put a little away for my dream sapphire, but jeez that process is slow. I'll have it when I'm 90 LOL.

 

[Begonia]

Congratulations! What a wonderful accomplishment! And, oh what a feeling!!
Funny story. When Mr. Slickk and I paid our mortgage off at the local bank, I kinda expected some balloons to cascade down upon us or something! Hehe! It felt so momentous. As we were leaving, ever so giddy with the staff and light footed, walking toward the side exit when the woman yelled, “It’s a big step!” I, obviously, thought she was speaking about our payoff status. I turned and agreed, “Yes, such a big step!!” She then said, to our continued amusement, “No, be careful, it’s a big step out that side door!!”

Anyway! Congratulations on the dream!! It’s so worth it!

So many big steps everywhere LOLOL!

 

[Begonia]

Congratulations!

Thank you!!!
I've under-accomplished in my career, but this helps a lot. Took so long...

 

[Begonia]

Congrates!!!!!

Thank you Karl.
I hope you are getting some answers and welcome news these days!

 

[Begonia]

Huge congratulations @Begonia, that's amazing!! You're amazing

I still don't get the negativity thing. We encountered similar attitudes/snide comments when we paid our home off, I wish others could just be happy for you when something great happens.

But nuts to them...just enjoy your incredible accomplishment!!!!

Nuts to them!!!!
I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one. Strange times tho...not always bringing out the best in folks.
(Thank you!!)

Proud of your accomplishment @Begonia. Stand tall with chest out & restart building your bling fund

Standing tall, chest out!
Buying a lottery ticket as we speak LOL
