eBook Now Available

I am very excited to announce that my very first eBook about how we paid off our mortgage is now available for purchase on Kindle/ Amazon! You do not need a Kindle to read it– you can download it to any device to read it. You can find out more information about how to do that HERE.

https://www.b4andafters.com/ebook-now-available

I hope that this topic will be a blessing and a help to you. Perhaps someone you know would benefit from it, also.

We have been married ten plus years. We lived in a condo for four and a half years before purchasing a house. It was very exciting when three weeks ago we paid off our mortgage! The story of how we did it is all in my eBook.

To purchase and read the eBook, click on the picture above or CLICK HERE. You can see a sample/ introduction of the book at the same link.

You may support my blog by shopping at any of the stores below. Thank you!







One and a half years later…

Well, it has been a year and a half since we paid off our house in an unconventional way. Living without a mortgage has been a wonderful worry-free way to live. I wondered what it would be like, and I have to say I am a little surprised to report that I think we are actually MORE careful with how we spend our money now!

We have not gone out and made any extravagant purchases or taken any grand trips. I am still just as frugal as ever. We dream once in awhile of owning more property than we currently do. In our area, the housing market is extremely hot, so being able to bid on a house without our offer having to be contingent on selling our own house gives us an advantage should we find a place we like.

Dave Ramsey says to “Live like no one else, so one day you can live like no one else.” He means to drive old cars until you pay off your debts and your house, so that one day when you are debt free then you can spend your hard earned money on fancy things if you want to— completely debt and interest free!! So once in awhile I do splurge on a book that I want or craft supplies. But I still pick up furniture off the side of the road, too.

      We will see– it’s my husband’s birthday week, and so my schedule will be rather disrupted…. but if I can, I will!

    Congratulations on your first e-book! What a great topic, since most people live in debt and continue to accumulate debt.
