We're you apprehensive going full-time?

I've been thinking about my house too. It's not paid off, but getting there. Once it's paid off, I'll still owe thousands in taxes every year. If I stop paying the taxes, it won't be my house any more. So, it's never really mine. Not to mention the costs. I pay thousands in insurance every year. Utilities cost me thousands every year. I had to replace my air conditioning unit. Thousands of dollars. It needs to be painted, needs some dirt work done, and the roof is shot after a recent hail storm. Yeah, it might appreciate in value, but I can't take it with me when I die. I'm coming to resent my house and feel tied down by it. I'm 40 years old. The only reason I haven't gone full time, is our 12 year old daughter. We plan to be full time in another six years when she moves out or gets kicked out. HA!

I feel exactly like you. Feel like I'm in prison here at my home and can't get out fast enough.

I will be full-time here hopefully in the next 90 days and it seems like forever getting there.

I will never own or rent again, Full-time for me forever or as long as I can go. Old age or health will have to put an end to it.

Freedom from all the **** is knocking at my back door :)

One thing I hate about owning a house is all what you mentioned plus all the maintenance. Your whole life is consumed of maintenance owning a home and I'm not going to miss that **** that's for sure. When you buy a home you are buying a job plus have to pay thousands to live ther
