I'll never live that long.

ours is no mansion on a hill, in fact it's so small just trying to do the 6 ft of separation thing would be a real challenge if more than two people in here at any time but it's all ours (as long as we keep up with our taxes that is).

My oldest sister, who was two years younger than me, was having trouble making her mortgage payments, so she got a reverse mortgage.

Turns out she was in the early stages of dementia and didn't realize that she still had to pay real estate taxes. End result was that she lost her home, wound up moving in with her daughter when she couldn't live alone any longer, and died a year ago of dementia complications.

When the govt outlaws the use of plastic bags you have no choice but to buy or make your own canvas bags.

We used to always get & reuse the plastic bags before they were banned. They made excellent bathroom trash can liners and are great for the cat liter & dog poop. My complaint is not the plastic bags, it’s that I’m told I can’t use them, that I have to buy/make new ones, reprogram me to figure out new ways to deal with trash & cat/dog poop, then once we’re all onboard they say, “nope, screw all those cute bags you wasted money buying fabric for because now you can’t use them.” Once I get out of the habit of not using the canvas, they’ll tell me I have to again. it’s frustrating.

It really isn't a big deal only bags, at Sams are drip bags for meat.They have lots of boxes at checkout.And card board is recyclable. And biodegradable .Paper bags will come back .

Don,t it feel good.We paid off in 96 and again in2002.bought the land backing up to us.But we bought what we could afford .Nothing fancy just a humble little farm house on very rocky land .I just couldn't see renting or paying a huge note.Enjoy Phil .
