Mortgage Payoff Update: Two Years In

We moved into our current home on November 27, 2020 after a whirlwind several months of house hunting during a hot housing market. We were very fortunate to find the house we did at the price we did, which was largely thanks to us stumbling across a For Sale By Owner listing that happened to …

Even though I know from years and years of experience that time speeds up crazy fast once a new school year starts and zooms through until Christmas, I’m still taken aback by it anew every fall. September was such a blur, largely because we were doing a ton of fun family stuff like weekly hikes …
