SilvrT Posted May 5, 2015 #1 Posted May 5, 2015 The loan on our Victory was originally due May 2016. Being an oldster, I'd forgotten that I'd paid extra from time to time since we bought it in May 2013. Well, I hadn't completely forgotten ... just forgot how much. Checked my loan balance last night and I only had 4 payments left and a balance of $2076 owing so I just paid the sukka out today!! :mo money: Aside from our mortgage, we are now completely free of debt!!! What a great feeling! :dancefool: :dancefool: :fatsmiley:
cowpuc Posted May 5, 2015 #2 Posted May 5, 2015 OUTSTANDING SILV!! :clap2: Oh,, by the way,, now that its officially YOURS I gotta remind you of something important Better hurry my friend, you dont want that gorgeous Vic to find out you forgot to make er feel special!!
Yammer Dan Posted May 5, 2015 #3 Posted May 5, 2015 Paying out early beats that interest big time!!! I don't have a mortgage.... Those Can-Ams sure are purty.
djh3 Posted May 5, 2015 #4 Posted May 5, 2015 Congrats. Thats a big deal no payments. We look @ new to us cars, but man I sure hate to have that $300-400 month hanging over my head. Especially not having a job at this time.

Especially not having a job at this time. There's been many times in my life I've been out of work and had payments on this and that to deal with. Went bankrupt in 2003 and swore I'd never let that happen again. Been very fortunate since 2006 to be able to purchase 3 different bikes, a truck, a tent trailer, a boat, and pay off my ex. If all things remain as they are, our mortgage will be paid off in 2 years and we'll be able to retire with a few dollars extra. I learned from my mistakes the hard way ... just wish I'd learned this lesson 40 years ago! hope you find work soon bro

Mine were great til I got notice from them that they were cutting my pension check by over 500 bucks. There went our play funds. Went from doing good to staying home a lot!!! I had plans for a new Spyder this year. I could do it but it would really make things tight and a oops would make things rough. New Spyder?? Used trike??? Don (B2Dad) I missed the chance didn't I??
djh3 Posted May 6, 2015 #7 Posted May 6, 2015 Vot something that looks sort of promising on horizon. Have to drive an hour to work 1 way and is way short of what I use to get . But will help pay bills.
SilvrT Posted May 6, 2015 Author #8 Posted May 6, 2015 Mine were great til I got notice from them that they were cutting my pension check by over 500 bucks. Who is "them" ???
cowpuc Posted May 6, 2015 #9 Posted May 6, 2015 Who is "them" ??? Them is they and whoever they is I dont like em,, Dan's my friend and he earned every bit of retirement income he is suppose to be getting!! Wish I was rich Dan,, I would buy you a brand new Spyder and give it to you just because you served our country in that god aweful mess over there!! Sorry to hear they/them did that to you bro!
Yammer Dan Posted May 6, 2015 #10 Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks Puc. I been looking with the Warden pushing me this time. Health seems to be major issue around here this year. If I didn't know better I would think we are all getting pld!! Warden is pushing me but I missed a Great chance when B2Dad and Carbon Larry got smart last year. I been looking but give up 2 wheels?? I just don't know.
eagleeye Posted May 6, 2015 #11 Posted May 6, 2015 Good for you Silver, now get rid of the morgage! Then what will you buy?
SilvrT Posted May 6, 2015 Author #12 Posted May 6, 2015 Good for you Silver, now get rid of the morgage! Then what will you buy? hahaha .... we'll be buying another tent trailer when we retire for our cross-Canada / USA trip. But that's no major expense needing financing. Other than that, I don't think Nina will allow any more big purchases ... I've about worn out all my "forgivenesses" LOL

Yammer Dan Posted May 7, 2015 #17 Posted May 7, 2015 I can see the Warden has a better eye than you two!! She has been looking at New Spyders!!! With the hit our retirement took I'm not going to do that. 30k about either way you go. That's over a years pay now.
Yammer Dan Posted May 7, 2015 #18 Posted May 7, 2015 who is "them" ??? Politicians!!! Or whoever controls State Retirement Board.
