Houseless
The dpk-owning-a-house experiment has come to an end. Bought in a seller’s market, and sold in a buyer’s market, and I still came out ahead. Plus, I left the house in better shape than it was when I bought it. Everybody wins! Especially the excise tax board, sheesh.
Whatcha gonna do with all that money, dpk?
I’m not sure yet. I’ve wanted to replace the TiVo for a while, with some home-brew MythTV/PC gaming combination behemoth, but I am a lazy, lazy man, and will probably just end up sending it to my brokerage and investing it in some stock market ETF thingy. Not having that mortgage payment any more will allow me to increase the 401k deposits.
This does make me 100% debt free, other than what has been on the credit card < 30 days. So that’s pretty sweet too. It’s probably a good time to go ahead and review (read: create) my retirement plan.
