Texas Spring/Summer Thread

You are not saving anything paying interest. HS.

HS,, Depends how one looks at it.. I could have paid cash for the house.. But I would have withdrawal from account with Fidelity that draws six pre cents,, that is a medium risk.. Around a 5 on a scale of 10,, that 6 pre cents makes that house payment.. Plus the 15 per cent in income taxes.. Because it is mostly dividends or long sells,, it has grown a little (5%) over the last three years.. But the main thing is I still have use of that money.. in case I need.. but the value of the house has always gone up,, in the last three years.. I believe that 6% will turn in to 8% in the next 5 years.. but that 2.75 will still be 2.75 on that same amount of money.. For the next 27 years.. Lou

Brandi, Happy Pay-off Day to you! You too, Dennis! To help you celebrate, I took my grandson to the donut shop this morning. It's been probably 10 years since I had a donut, but I had two this morning: one for Dennis and one for Brandi. Now, I'll go back to the next ten years of abstention. Hey! The sacrifices I make for my friends.

We saw the first bluebonnets of the year in our neighborhood this morning. And the trees in the woods in a local park have some buds showing this morning. I guess Spring has sprung.

Thanks Jim. Have another donut on me. My day was interrupted by a neighbor wanting a 750 gallon septic tank installed. It is now in I and will go back and dig him a line befire the rain gets here at 7 or so.
hugs, Brandi

I have thought about an engineered (Aggie) bridge built by me.............but it would just be another structure that would need to be "critter proofed". The jon boat is the easiest in the long run.

I'm in full blown party mode right now with mister Royal.:drink: Just paid my bills and made the last payment on the Big RED Beast. Yippee!:dance1::cool2::cool2::thumbsup::cool2:roposetoast::soapbox::wave::number1::jump::applause::moneybag:
hugs, Brandi

That last payment on anything is always a good reason to celebrate.

Absolutely Brandi! :thumbsup:

We now have the primary election, precinct conventions and County /SD conventions behind us! Now it's on to the runoffs in May! Hope everyone got a chance to participate in these essential functions of our system of self government.

Let's hope the political fervor lasts through the runoff so that the election results were meaningful. The job is truly not complete until the runoff is over.
