Just paid the last of the morgage off! Yayy!

Now I'm busy paying off all my other bills. I estimate that I'll be free and clear of all debt of whatever sort by September! [ does a lil happy-dance ]

It's been a long, long time coming, boys and girls, and I feel as if a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. What a great feeling! :D

Congratulations :D

Lucky man. With the average salary here about £20,000, and the average house price £184,924, it's going to be a long time before I can buy my own place. :(

Congratulations however Murphy's Law dictates that NOW YOU DIE!

Congratulations :D
Thanks, mah man! It's been a long, hard battle, but I WON! Yayyy! :D

Well, to be frank, this really isn't much of a "place," but it's mine, allllll mine! :D

Eeep! :eek:

Shhh! Don't even THINK that! :(

Sweet! Congratulations:)

Silly Eutrusca, you assume i think.:p

Well, to be frank, this really isn't much of a "place," but it's mine, allllll mine! :D

Even the smallest place is beyond most budgets, at least in the most popular parts of the country (ie where the jobs are). Even a small studio flat in a not-so-nice area around London would set you back about £100,000, more than most people on an average salary can get a mortgage for. Plus, there's always the risk that you spend that much on a crappy place and *whack!* The housing market collapses and you're paying £100,000 for something now only worth £20,000. :(

Yeah, the UK is poo.
Umm, I also had something more intelligent to write, but I've forgotten it. *shrugs*

Life itself is a crap game, bro. Best to just be happy and go for it! :)

Something to do with debt, maybe?

It's been in the news a lot.

:confused:
No my wit is instant and natural.:)

I don't wish for earthly demise, don't worry...

Bro, if that's all it took for me to become "gloomy," I'd have given up long, long ago!

Thanks! :)

That's entirely up to you, dude. All too many people feel as though they have to have everything of the "latest." I've lived without for so many years now that I think I could probably make pate de foi gras from grass! :D

Why, what an extraordinary skill! You should start a "Eutrusca's Own" brand! :p

Seriously, congratulations. :fluffle:

Strange you should mention that! I actually DO have an "Eutrusca's Own" brand ... but it has nothing to do with food. :D

Thank you, sweet thang! :fluffle: :fluffle: :fluffle:

haha good point, but still the problems people say with house pricing in the UK are still apparent, and all i'm gonna inherit from my parents is debts galore, so... *shrugs*

its seriously cool, and i am envious of you... well done :fluffle:

Oooh, congrats. What are you going to spend the newly freed up money on?

Someone here acting like Daffy Duck ... ;)

I am really pleased for you! Well done on you and I hope that the good feeling continues for a goodly long time! :D

Sends a big smiley wave to Eutrusca and a nice bit of Cake. :D

Pay off all my bills, buy my ex the car I promised her, buy myself a car, then split what's left between a deposit into my grandchildren's trust fund, and a bit of travel for myself. :)

LOL! Kewl! I would prefer pie, but since that's apparently already been eaten, cake will have to do. :)

Congratulations, Eut!

I can always make you a nice blackberry and apple crumble...with a nice dollop of custard.

Well, to be frank, this really isn't much of a "place," but it's mine, allllll mine! :D
What is it?

Granted, it's small,
and not always comfortable,
and it costs me money,
and I've spent countless hours alone there,
and everything is starting to break apart,
and the walls are plastered with bad memories-
Despite all that, it's still my room.
And more than that:
It's home.

Well, they say that home is where the heart is, so I'm pleased that all of my children and grandchildren live nearby. :)

Congratz! I should be in the same boat next year.

awesome :D

I got myself debt free in Febuary (or around there) but alas medical bills have bit me in the butt and I had to get another car, I can pay those off by August though. Then I will be in the market for a house, and will be in debt for another 15 years :(

Gonna make a real mess when you get slapped wid 'em! Heh!
Excellent!

Ah, something ELSE to compete with Stephen Colbert about. :D

Seriously though, this'll free up your bills to pay for all that porn, sexual appendage augmentation surgery and subsequent therapy, and 1-900 calls, methinks.
Or you can shirk all that, buy a mobile home and truck it to Florida! ;)

congrats!
put a smile on my face
im too busy thinking about my gloomy prospects of ever moving out of home, let alone owning my own place, so feel-good stories are just the thing i need
