Although this is not on my goal list. I told my son tonight that within the next year and if they are touring, we will go and see Kiss live. I have been a fan since I was about 12 and one of my very first albums was Kiss Alive II.
I took my son to see AC/DC last year so why not see Kiss too? According to my sources they might be playing in Virginia Beach and Pittsburgh in August 2010. If it’s in Pittsburgh then we will just drive over. If it is in Virginia Beach then I will take time off and we will go to the beach for a few days too.

Saturday, my son and myself went to an estate auction and I found five rotary phones and won them at auction for $2 a piece. I put one on eBay this week and it is already at $9.99 which is what I paid for all 5. Now if I could do that for all five then that would allow me to turn $10 into $50. No bad for a Saturday morning out with my son.
I also have about 7 other items for sale. All of this money will go to reduce my debt. I so want to be out of debt it isn’t funny. That tax refund was a much needed boost towards that goal.

I think I can answer this with one word – “NO”. The reason that I say this is because of the ever present existence of property taxes and utilities. Maybe 100-200 years ago a person could go out west and stake a claim of land live the remainder of his life debt free. In today’s society in most States you must pay property taxes, water, sewage or something equal.
You could live in the country and have well water and a septic tank but then there’s the taxes. You could pay for water but live in a state with no property taxes. The bottom line is that yes, you could be debt free but for 98% of us it is just a fantasy.
My new definition of being debt free is to be current on all bills, no credit card debts, loans or outstanding medical bills. With a house payment is ok but a paid off home is the ultimate that a person could hope to achieve in being debt free.
