You got out of the cage because of your foresight to buy a house. You didn't just luck into it. Good on ya, you earned it.

Thank you Schneed! We still have to actually sell our home, but luckily, we live in a very sought after area in NC where people are busting a gut to want to move to. So, I think we can probably sell our home pretty fast. There's not much to do to our house to get it ready to sell. Just spruce up the curb appeal a bit, throw on a coat or two of paint, and we're pretty much ready to put it on the market. I think we can have it sold by summer.

Thanks Giantone. My wife and I are busily looking at houses and I think it's exciting. I can't wait to have a change of pace. I'm just thinking of all the things we've put on hold because we've been snowed under in doubt. But, I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! I definitely will tell anybody if they're on the fence about buying a house, go ahead and buy. Over time, it's like a savings account! Best investment ever.
