A good yard sale weekend (finally) and just a few more days

May 27th, 2011 at 03:55 am

Last weekend had to have been the first weekend where the weather was good for yard sales. I spent $5.50 for a number of good items, including one book for $0.50. Listed it on Half.com for $6 and it sold in one day. I should net about $5 for the sale. Got an accessory to go with my drill press for $.50, retails at $35-$60. And a box full of expensive cleaning supplies for the house & car for $2 - cool. Hopefully this weekend will be good as well.

And just a few more days for my mortgage. Early next week I put in my last mortgage payment (extra large, but still...). OMG, what am I going to do without the mortgage in the months ahead? (heh, heh, heh Smile Ok, so the next few months will be to replace my 200,000+ mileage car. And then there is the insurance, and property taxes, and plane tickets for my son, and funding my Roth IRA for this year, and on and on it goes Frown. Oh well, probably by the end of the year I may hit the end of these extra expenses. Still, its better than the alternative, right?

    how wonderful to have cleared your mortgage, will you hold a mortgage burning ceremony?
    Before buying your new car, check your possible choices with your insurance. Some vehicles have a premium price from insurance. [ask me how I found out]

    It is amazing that you are crushing the mortgage, congratulations! That has to lead to a nice feeling of security. I think that snafu has a really good point about the insurance issue for new wheels, and I am afraid to ask how s/he found out! Smile Jerry
