Well, I'm 65 and have just gone into debt for the rest of my life, paying $205K for this 80 yr old house,4 outbuildings and 1.6 acres of land, but still...

I think I am in a good place. @silversaver888
Basically, my house payment($993, but I'm paying $1,000) is 1/3 of my monthly VA disability, the savings deposit is another 1/3 ($1,000).
My utilities and insurance and taxes are running about $500 per month, I bought my car outright 4.5 yrs ago, paying $11K cash. I have no other debts, other than my occasional purchase from Amazon, or a thrift store, plus the unGODLY amount of stuff I'm still buying to try and fix stuff that the seller misrepresented at Lowe's (a hardware megastore)
