I’ll be a taboo breaker here –

This week I retired. (If I live cheap, I’m done working forever.)
The week before I paid off my mortgage. (Public record anyway).

Hooray!!!!!!!! 🙂

Congratulations on both paying off your house and your retirement! I thought you still had a year or so to go. You’ve certainly done your research and worked hard toward your goals. Nicely done, UCGal!

What’s awesome is that you get to spend time with your kids when they are still young-ish. Didn’t your DH retire recently, too? Travel plans, or?

I am so very happy for you![/quote]
Thanks CAR. Market gains moved it up a little. (I didn’t plan for last years go-go-go market. Plus I found ways to tighten my budget up a little, so I needed less.

My kids will not know what hit them. I’m going to do my best to embarrass them every day by give them big public kisses when I drop them off at school. LOL.
