As we move in and I take more stock of the house, I become acutely aware of how it is a starter home. It's a little sobering how much work there is to do, and how far it is from my parents' fancier house. On the other hand, I am also very aware of how far a little work can go (or a lot of work), thank you HGTV. And I also feel good about how I can pay off my whole house in 15 years and still save a substantial amount of money every month. I also have a good mortgage rate on a pretty decent house. I got it at a pretty good price, and there's a lot of potential to do some really nice improvements. I just need to keep my eye on the prize, and it'll all happen. Oh, and I have to hold down my job, I guess.
