Mortgage Update for May 2016

Mortgage update and last day of junior year for my nephew!  (I wrote this on Thursday) He wanted to know when he is considered a senior, after the last day of school or on the first day of senior year?  I said after the last day of school assuming he passed all of his classes.  Next school year is going to be a very busy, fun and scary year for him as he makes his way towards college and independence. 

I put another extra $1,200 towards the principle of my mortgage.  New total is $33,542.  1 year and 11 months left at this rate.  It is very tempting to stop the extra mortgage repayment and work on new projects instead but the heat will probably deter me for a few months, at least.  I find myself often watching youtube videos on installing a metal roof on a mobile home and dreaming of block walls for a secure yard and garden.  All in good time.

I would say your nephew became a senior as soon as his junior year was in the books. For example, if he, as I did after my junior year of college, taken a summer course right after his junior year was finished, he would be a senior immediately, as I was as soon as I began the summer course.

You're getting dangerously(!) close to paying off THIS mortgage. Stay on it!

Things are looking good. Stay the course, that's the tough part. When the nephew gets his grade card showing all passing grades it's time for a pizza dinner celebrating his Seniordom:)

So close and yet so slow. I know, I'm always impatient but I'm so excited to move on to the next step!

Yes! Pizza party just as soon as he recovers from getting his wisdom teeth pulled. We tried to get pizza on Monday but they were closed. We settled for Dairy Queen.

Thanks, Linda! It's too bad we don't live closer. The only drawback with those waterers is that they would freeze I think.
