Today I decided I want to pay my house off in 5 years. This seems like 5 years beyond my reach. I get depressed that people are buying great houses on my street for so much less than i paid. I think to myself if I can get out of paying all that interest than the price will even out in my mind. Does that make sense?
I save money whenever I can. I put money in my ROTH and my SEP. I still want to keep doing that. I also train for big races and that is what keeps me happy. So, even tho I work a lot, I feel somewhat limited.
This coming summer I want to get pregnant. All of this and I still want to pay off my house. I think I am dreaming.
The other factor is that most of the time I do not live in my house. I rent out the master bedroom and I live in Scottsdale with my bf. I do come back to Tucson when he is out of town sometimes. It is very likely that we will relocate to the East coat for his job. I just hate paying this mortgage for a place I don't live in. Luckily the bf takes care of the rent in Scottsdale and any house payment we will have when we move.
This house has been such a drain on me. BIG stuff is always going wrong. I could put 20k into it right now and I would still need to do more. ugh!
Most likely I will still be here on SW in 5 years, so I will update with my progress. This month I plan on adding camming to my work routine. This will hopefully allow me to work when I am sore from racing/training.
Thanks for listening.
