After 10 years, our home is finally fully paid! We've never felt so relieved and excited. E promised me that we will celebrate this event before we seriously get down to really saving for the rainy day...
This brings to mind memories of our first few years of marriage when it was so hard to make those mortgage payments because it would eat up half of our paycheck, not counting the income tax. So you can just imagine what was left of our paycheck: 100%-32% for tax-50% for the home mortgage. But everything was so worth it. We have a lovely home and we paid for every bit of it through our hard work and determination. Life's never been this good.

Congratulations! That is such a BIG achievement, having done what you have done, plus all the travels in between, at the same time keeping your bond strong and your relationship solid through it all! Hats off to you both!

Thanks SC! It wasn't easy but looking back, we're so glad we took the risk early in our married life.
Congratulations!!! You did it in even less time than it took us to pay our first mortgage in full!!!
