AIBU to want to boast

I'm so excited but I can't say in real life as its boasting. I'm 44 and I've made the final payment on my house. At 18 I was living in the YMCA, now DH and I own our house. It's a huge relief.

You should boast - this is great stuff! I am your age and yet to even get on the housing ladder but still love to hear good news stories like this. Such a weight off your shoulder and also frees up some income each month.

I don't think yabu at all. Fair play to you for getting it done, especially after where you started from. You've every right to be super proud 😁

You have every right to be proud but don't boast in the presence of anyone worse off than you/ still struggling.

🙄 obviously she knows this which is why she’s sharing it here in a safe place, doesn’t need condescending stupid comments, well done op
