Loved this story - reminded me of when I bought my little condo and drove a cheap Honda. I worked three jobs trying to pay down on my mortgage and I almost had it paid off by the time I married a few years later...we used the equity to make our down on the next place. I was always tired - but in a good way - there was always a place to go or something that needed doing. No time for depression or laziness to set in. AND, I really didn't do any extra shopping as there was no time -- which was also a savings. Good for them!!
