    This was actually yesterday. So glad it’s nice enough to finally cook out front and fire up the PK360. Broccoli cheddar turkey meatloaf with dizzy dust on top. Browned the top then covered till 145 then took it out of the pan and added some bourbon sugar maple blockz. Good lunches for a couple days.
    The colour of that beer. IPA, I presume. 😛

    Just converted my 30 year mortgage (20 years left) at 4.875% to a 15 year @ 2.5%.
    Note remains the same, shaved 5 years and saved us $98,500 in the long run 

    Smart move.  I’m trying to talk step son to do the same.  15 year rate was 2.3% today, and would save him over $1000/year.

    I did something similar, maybe 2003?  I ended up paying off the remaining 15-year mortgage in 7 years, and eliminated the tax benefits for the remaining 8 years.
    Shoulda done my homework a bit more carefully....   :s:

    Apologize if this has been posted before (looks somewhat familiar).  It's more practical than a tattoo....

    I called my mortgage broker today to explore a refinance as well.  Bought the house last year and learned today that you can't refinance until you have had the mortgage for 10 months.  For me that is first week in April.  I can't see rates going up by then, so I'm sure it is fine, but I wouldn't complain if they went down a little more.  I really want to go from 30 to 15 as well but the math I'm doing on the monthly increase is coming out a little too big for me to handle at the moment.

    @lkapigian That is so cool. So now I see that sauerkraut and fermented hot sauce is like a gateway drug kind of think. This place is evil... I need a “fermenting chamber” - maybe in an “undisclosed location” like some other hooligans around here.

    @ColbyLang: Thanks for the heads up. I spoke to my mortgage broker recently and he told me to call if the stock market took a dump. Guess I need to call him.

    I am also looking at a refinance. Going to do a new 30 year and continue to pay the same I am paying now. Will end up being $350 per month extra principle, so my new loan will be paid off in 16 years, instead of the 28 years I have left on it now. (I pay an extra 200 a month now. The new rate gives me another 150 lower payment) And save me just shy of 65k in interest payments. 

    Going to a 15 year would raise my monthly a little too high for the budget.

    If I could only get to the boat. The lake has been flooded with our gangway underwater for weeks.

    Nice looking space(s). 

    Things I’m okay with paying for now: 
    1. Moving
    2. Painting
    3. Yard work/landscaping 

    Not necessarily in that order.  All 3 of those are thankless jobs IMO.

    Agree 100%.  I just mowed the lawn short, power raked, then mowed up the dead grass.  Trimmed all the bushes, and cut down the pampas grass.  I’m 63, and all my “young” neighbors hire their lawn work out.  Funny thing is the contractors doing the work are seniors like me.

    Largest county in Georgia (Fulton) has cancelled school and all related activities for the next couple days due to COVID-19 and our cruise planned for the end of the month has now been postponed to a later date.
    This is starting to get real.
