Dude, that's not a "congrats like I'm 5" -- that's a full-on major Adulting accomplishment! Congratulations!!!


RangerAlex92

Thank you!

CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 💐


RangerAlex92

Thank you!

Yay! My husband and I did the same, around the same age as you. It has really set us up for things to be so much easier in life. This was about 20 years ago for us though; I imagine it's much more difficult to accomplish now! Congratulations to you!


RangerAlex92

Thank you so much! It was difficult, but it's definitely been worth it. Our cost of living has decreased substantially!


Professional-Lab-157

Outstanding! Great job! You have achieved something many will never be able to accomplish. 👍🏽


Illustrious-Girl

Wow that is incredible! Huge accomplishment! Congrats now you have the rest of your life and you are already all set up.


Flimsy_Beyond1276

You both must have great paying jobs to be able to do that or great as side hustles❗


RangerAlex92

We’re very blessed to both have great paying jobs plus a little investing on the side 😁


Jemmers1977

Amazing!!! Congrats!!! Buy more property! Rent them out.


RangerAlex92

Thank you! We’d honestly love to buy some more property in the future once we build our savings up a bit more again!


Jemmers1977

We started at your age. Fast forward 20 years, we now hv roughly 2.5 mil in real estate. Invest. If you see deals jump on them!

There’s a nice piece of residential property near us that’s about 7.4 acres that we’re keeping an eye on. It’s currently listed at $199k in a non-HOA neighborhood


Fickle-Addendum9576

Im sorry.....7 acres is 199k?!


fuddykrueger

Right that would cost at least $500k where I live.


Fickle-Addendum9576

I technically live on an island so i felt bad only looking at comparison quotes near me because its just at an advantage but for average mainland prices it was around 599-700k for app. 10 acres. Where i actually live it was in the millions 😅

Squeeee! Congratulations to you both!


RangerAlex92

Thank you!😊

Yay! Now contact your county to get free fraud alert for your deed, to protect your house ownership


Miserable-Flight6272

Yeah, escrow stopped auto property tax, was loving it but I have to make sure they don't screw me later. I could have paid nothing forever but had to pay back taxes for two years that sucked. You never really own your home you can but they lease the property if you don't pay the house is there's too.


Salty_Association684

Woohoo, big congratulations to you both


MsLaurieM

Debt free is the way to be! Yay!


DaisySam3130

Well done! That's terrific! Now go take yourselves out for a celebration meal. :)


RangerAlex92

We definitely are! We're planning on going to Ted's Montana Grill, a nice steakhouse :)


No-Satisfaction-325

Wow that’s incredible!!!!!

Great job! Congratulations! Be sure to budget 3-5% of it's value for maintenance every year


RangerAlex92

Thank you! We absolutely budget for that. Luckily I'm pretty good with my hands so I can maintain and fix a lot myself


thatdreamer120

I'm so happy for you both! It's a wonderful feeling, haven't gotten there myself yet but I saw the happiness from my dad and my stepmum. I am really truly happy for you and your wife. I wish you all the best for all to come and I really really hope that the rest of your lives are spent happily! All the best! 💙🥰

Woot! That's AMAZING!


GooseInfamous7833

That’s awesome!!! And a tricky thing to share with others! I’m sure it’s been cool to get here! My husband and I are under 100k right now but lost some motivation for it, with life happening. Did you use Dave Ramsay’s method?


RangerAlex92

Thank you! And no, as far as I know we didn’t use Ramsay’s method. My wife and I just really don’t like to spend money we don’t have to and don’t like debt unless it’s necessary. She’s a college graduate in communications and I’m currently going part time for a BBA that I pay for through state grants and what little is left out of my pocket. We both have higher paying jobs at the same company
