We have been looking for a new home for a couple of years, and this week, we finally moved in to a modern dormer bungalow, with a bedroom and bathroom on the same level as the living area. Our previous home was built on four levels, and steps are my enemy, so this new house is my dream. We are so excited - I keep thinking I'm dreaming.

The icing on the cake is that we are now mortgage free after 39 years, which means I might be able to retire younger that 66, which is how it stands at the moment. This is amazing, as I know I can't work for the next 9 years.

Just wanted to share my good news with my friends on here.

Hmm, well our bedroom is on the first floor, so that's one plus.

Our mortgage is at 3.375% interest, so tho' we're not mortgage free we couldn't rent for what we pay in mortgage, plus taxes and insurance.

I retired at 58.......just in time for everything to hit me at once!

Thank goodness I didn't have to work through it all.

Kathyx - I am so happy to hear your good news!!  I know this is something you've been hoping for, for a while.

I'm sure it will be a huge help to you to have a bedroom & bathroom on the main level.

Mortgage free is a wonderful feeling!!   :D

Did you say CAKE??  Mmmmm . . . I think there should be cake to celebrate your good news!   ;D

I hope you will be able to retire soon so you can enjoy your new home and not have the worries of work, your health, etc.

Enjoy your new home and your new neighborhood.

Best wishes to you always.

Hugs,

Thank you all so much for your kind comments.

We have been on leave from work for the past week, It's been a busy one, organising our things, but the sun has shone every day - almost a miracle in northern England. We feellike we are in a holiday home, rather than our home. I'm sure that will change, as we get back into our work.

Hugs

Wow thats great you sound like you found your dream home. Was it a long time to sell your old house? I am probably putting mine up also but the market here is dead, but I cant keep it up much longer. Its too big for one person I dont need 3 bedrooms, and all that land to mow.

Speaking of cake, Does anyone remember the Irma Bombeck article where she goes to welcome a new neighbor right after the moving van left? THe neighbor is apologizing for the mess, "brushing an imaginary speck of dust" off the table and offering her a slice of freshly baked lemon chiffon cake.

It takes us YEARS to finish unpacking!
