Joking about something going well is more challenging.Brett Minorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181569922751252054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86977550006125364.post-66573565271696659692016-11-08T10:21:33.901+07:002016-11-08T10:21:33.901+07:00The plan (I hope this plan works) is to take all t...The plan (I hope this plan works) is to take all this extra money and apply it toward debt and retirement. I have over $100,000 in student loan debt and have $0 set aside for retirement. If we spend several years here and put our money where we intend to, it should be a very good start.Brett Minorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181569922751252054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86977550006125364.post-78533561884376795152016-11-04T05:23:23.181+07:002016-11-04T05:23:23.181+07:00I find both types of post interesting and enlighte...I find both types of post interesting and enlightening (I've sort of been following along even tho I haven't commented) so I say, keep up the good work! I love learning about new places, plus you get to make all the mistakes while I can sit back and read about them (while also paying $80/mo for internet).mshatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06308916014310536449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86977550006125364.post-20568166803603656472016-11-04T05:12:10.325+07:002016-11-04T05:12:10.325+07:00Well geez...

Sounds like a much better deal than I had thought before. For me, though, I think I'll be forced to just live that life vicariously through you guys!Grant Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02128956299924835281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86977550006125364.post-69112623470429452542016-11-04T02:46:07.279+07:002016-11-04T02:46:07.279+07:00I do the same thing.

Sure we were happy when we became homeowners but I posted mostly about the damaged window, plumbing issues and, most of all, the extra-long commute that came with the new house. I guess it's human nature to think pointing out the challenges of a new thing makes for a more interesting story.Vinny Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11807312191102871918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86977550006125364.post-88720491551292362772016-11-03T19:29:35.176+07:002016-11-03T19:29:35.176+07:00I've been reading your wife's blog regular...I've been reading your wife's blog regular and keeping up with her end. But, I did not keep up the connection.<br /><br />I am far too old plus I speak with a Southern accent. I don't think the Chinese would hire me. But what a gift for adventure you two have brought on yourselves. And the prices, you'll be able to afford a home once you come back. Cheers.
