Get this house sold ASAP when it hits market after new year, and find my "retirement" home in AZ. Yeah I'll still have to work, but with little or no mortgage, I can have a shit job and pay the bills just fine AND do all the cool stuff that I want to do to my property/house.

I want a home that I can finally call MY home. Put the good sweat and tears into it because you know it's where you're going to hang your hat up for good.

I'm doing the same. Putting house up at end of January. Moving to VA.

Try to keep a better eye on my 401k..did pretty good this year and want to stay on that trend, maybe i won't have to die at my desk!!

Just gonna try to survive through another one. Hopefully go to CT to meet the new grandson, and OK to meet the new great-niece. Be nice to bag a deer too.

Get out of the rental market by selling the other houses. Get the first one on the market and sold in January, then talk the tenants into buying the house they are in. Finish off the three rooms that need work in my house, then build a nice new deck to relax on the rest of the year.

I’d like to maybe get a pizza this weekend. Probably drink some whiskey.

First is to find a reliable contractor to do a major remodel of our little cabin. I want to pop up half the roof, add a garage, a new entry, larger bedroom, sunroom, hobby room and a utility room with a washer/dryer and a real furnace. I plan to replace the doors and most of the windows myself.

This past year I insulated the roof with polyiso panels and re roofed, which made a huge difference in our comfort. I rebuilt and insulated the septic tank and lines which had frozen the past two winters. Also replaced all the old junk 1950's furniture with very nice Scandinavian design pieces courtesy of Craigslist for less than $2K net. Big progress.

Also, I'd like to add a new lightweight hunting rifle, a Kimber Adirondak in 6.5 Creedmoor to pair with the Omega suppressor.

If you're in the metro area you shouldn't have any difficulty selling. Still a crazy seller's market out there.

Last year the wife and I had a long discussion about what we wanted for 2017. We had decided to either sink some serious money into our Englewood house (which my wife bought with her first husband when she was 18, in 1981) so it had more than one bathroom and some entertaining space, OR sell it and buy a new house. On Christmas day, we decided to sell rather than fix up, and I think that was the right call. 6 weeks later we moved into our new-to-us house in the Columbine area and immediately afterward we put our Englewood house up for sale.

It was on the market for 7 1/2 hours. At the end of the first day we had 3 full price offers, with financing done. And at a price that was well above what I thought it would have sold for.

Put the good sweat and tears into it because you know it's where you're going to hang your hat up for good.

When we moved into this home, we decided it had to have what we wanted without a lot of major modifications because we only plan on being here about 10 years. Once I'm able to retire, we're going to move someplace that is hopefully both cheaper to live and a little warmer. Right now NM is on the list. I also like Grand Junction. Wife loves Salida because she's a fly fisher but I think they still have pretty harsh winters there. Wherever we move after this is going to be our last move, at least that's my plan.
