How I Bought My Home Through Frugality and Loans
I built a home by steady work and savings. As a journeyman printer I earned about 33 a month and bought a $900 property on installment. Debts spurred effort. in two years I paid 700, then bartered a new 1000 loan at 30 percent to clear old debt and fund a 20 by 36 foot five room cottage. Marriage brought happiness, debt reduced plans. We hired an architect for an eight room two story cruciform dwelling 25 feet wide, 48 deep. Contract 3200, extras to 2600 bringing loan to 2000. A cooperative savings loan offered regular payments, with 7.2 percent annual rate and 12 monthly interest on 3000 in Omaha, plus pledged shares. We aim to pay as our means permit.
