Today I officially paid off the beach house.

The mortgage "handler" the credit union used, screwed up and left a small balance when I paid it off last month. This wouldn't have been a big deal, except the $150.00 they left on the loan turned into $370.00 in interest and fees.

I raised a bit of hell, and the credit union decided to eat the mistake.

I went out and bought a $150.00 bottle of wine.... :-)
