I Bought A House - My First Time As A Homeowner & Accomplishing A Personal Goal

I bought a house

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram- AdamTheWooATW What a ride it’s been since I started making videos in my van. Those days flood back in my memory recently and how crazy life can be. I always wanted to buy a house by the time I was 50 and happy to say I accomplished my goal. Pretty thankful. As stated at end of the video I am not accepting gifts or items or mail. While I appreciate the kindness I don’t need anything and am a very private person at home.

[@BongDonky]

As a Rays fan, do you dig their old name better? Devil Rays sounds way cooler to me. Cheers

[@yettykitty4893]

You are indeed at your very own home sweet home! So happy for you! Your home is beautiful, spacious, has a great security system and a love sac!! Awesome!

[@RichardChavoyaJr]

AWESOME ADAM! Way to go man! I bought my first house 6 years ago when I was 48. I’m so happy for you and looking forward to whatever you decide to do and share with the rest of us 😎

[@jeannewiddicombe]

Am so Happy for you Adam 👍👍😀

[@mattsgettingout]

Congratulations on buying a home and accomplishing a goal. As a renter in my 40’s, I would like to own by the time I am 50 as well. Enjoy and Happy New Year!! 🎉

[@szabethebabe]

Owning a home in celebration???? That’s the dream, bro! Congratulations 🎉

[@deborahdukes6096]

Talk about living the American Dream, Adam ! Went from basically living in your car due to your travels ( for many years) to buying a home in the much desired town of Celebration. So proud of you, your hard work has paid off! Congrats and all the best !! 😊

[@cspat1]

Congratulation Adam. As a long time home owner I’m so happy for you. You no longer pay rent, every penny you put in your house will benefit in its appearance and ownership. You will always have a roof over your head . Im so excited for you.Looks like you are definitely making it your own, No landlord to worry you over nails in the wall ,you can put what ever you find pleasing in your new digs!

[@PSB-900]

How about I SEND you best wishes with your first home! Congratulations! My first reaction when I purchased my first home was 'what the heck did I just do?' A great subject for a future vlog would be watching you mowing your lawn! LOL! Be well Adam!

Adam, as I’ve said before, I don’t know you personally, but feel like I know you as I have so enjoyed you taking all of us viewers on your many adventures. I’ve been a subscriber for many years. Congrats on your new home. What a great way to begin 2024 in your own home. Hope to follow your travels for as long as you allow us along. God bless and happy new year!

[@hangryhamster3199]

This video made me feel better about having to wait a little longer for home ownership. Very encouraging. Congratulations!

[@DALEf4u]

Congratulations, Adam!! I bought a condo back in 1991 thinking that eventually I would move into a house. As things worked out I stayed in my condo and paid it off two years ago. It’s a nice feeling that your money is going towards property that you own and not rent. Enjoy your new home!!

[@deanna3301]

Congratulations Adam! I just watched this video and the end was hilarious! Your "no fraternizing in the yard" comment was too funny. I get it, man. May your home truly be your castle and ever peaceful.

[@brodave1111]

Adam, been following you for years. Congrats on the new home. To get an idea of what you have done, multiply the monthly rent you have paid in the past, and you’ll probably find that if you had purchased a house then, you would be mortgage debt free by now. Don’t let the “haters” bother you, you have achieved the “American Dream “ as a homeowner. Keep up the good work and I look forward to traveling with you in the future. Dave

[@kelliintexas3575]

​@@canadianmade101that is the dumbest statement known to man. You will see. Then how about you go BUY some land and atleast pay on that. In 10 years you won't be able to buy a home again. I live in a tiny country town where Texas won its independance. SINCE Biden took office homes went from $136k (3500sq ft in a subdivision, brand new) to THREE YEARS being $689,000. Let that sink in. Black Rock is buying ENTIRE neighborhood & towns. Little wooden homes in town 980sq ft were $42k now $350k!!!!

[@OldPonsonby]

Hi Adam! I was worried when you said you were leaving your apartment in Celebration but I'm overjoyed to see you've decided to stay in that community, only now in your own cozy house! Your videos have brought great joy to a lot of people over the years, so I'm happy to know that you're going to be traveling around making more. I too love Americana, so I particularly enjoy your videos throughout rural America. Happy travels in 2024, my friend!

Adam,, I'm sooo Happy 😊 for you! Moved from West Palm Beach in '73... very retired & in my 5th home.... another traveler, I have only been watching KZbin for 3 years & you were the first I found, enjoyed and still do. Love your family & your American success story!!! My blessings to you my friend !!!

[@dragonosx]

Congratulations on the new home! Glad you will be staying close to family, friends, and places you enjoy. The house is looking great so far and can only imagine it will grow even better as you make it yours. I had to laugh about the end of the video, after I moved into my house I think everyone I knew decided to "gift" me with household junk I didn't want or need so ended up with old TV's, extra plates, glasses/cups, cookware and bedding. I know how it goes!

Congrats man! Happy to hear you got yourself your very own place and that you also decided to stay here in FL! It's a very surreal feeling when you buy your own place for the first time. It usually doesn't start to settle in until you receive that first mortgage bill, haha. That whole first month, my wife and I kept feeling like it wasn't even real. Enjoy it, bud, you've earned it! Peace & Love, dude. Enjoy!

[@lexijones8019]

Yeah people get excited and then the mortgage comes especially these days with interest rates and it’s always about keeping the house. It’s almost easier to buy it.

Congratulations on your new house Adam. It's a new big adventure who starts from now for you. A little history about your Christmas gift "haunted mansion". It is definitely an original. I do have the exact same one who I got from Disneyland in California on main street USA. It was also available from the Disney store/catalog if my memory serves me correctly. Probably 20 years ago around 2003/2004. 😊

[@sarahthompson5066]

Congratulations Adam! I need to tell you this one little fact that all homeowners know. Appliances and home systems don't go out alone---they break in pairs AND at the worst time possible! In my case, usually on a holiday weekend when it's more expensive to get a plumber or a heating/A/C specialist! Just accept it as a fact of home ownership. Oh and now KZbin is your friend in helping teach you how to do the "little" repairs. Welcome to the wonderful world of home ownership--it's great (minus the repairs). 🙂

[@beverlybennett963]

My daughter lost her frig, washer and dryer of 16 years at Thanksgiving and Christmas.. However, she got 16 years out of them, by todays standards is good, not like back in my day where some are still running...

[@sarahthompson5066]

@@beverlybennett963 That is so TRUE. We hunted an older dryer and bought it instead of replacing it with a new one when ours went out in 2016. It's still going strong. If you can find people "upgrading" and buy used older appliances, they seem better in the long run!

*TIP- for ceiling fans if you want them to cool you make sure blades spinning counterclockwise (looking up at them). Clockwise for winter time when want to circulate heat. There's a small switch on fan body to reverse directions 👍 PS- Congratulations Adam.

Congratulations, Adam. Now, when I saw that fork and spoon on the wall, I have to chuckle because it reminds me of that episode of everybody loves Raymond. Lol.

[@nickuliano4939]

Congratulations, Adam. I wish you all the best as you settle into your new home in Celebration. The pride of home ownership is something very special, and not to be taken lightly. I enjoyed your house tour. Two decorating suggestions for you (no biggies; just suggestions): #1 In the dining room, move the one shelving until from the corner to between the two windows. That will provide better use of the space, and the light coming through the windows will better highlight whatever you display on the shelves. #2 - the framed pics which you have in the living room are way too high. (I think you tried to make them even with the tops of the windows.) Art should be hung at eye level. Just look online - you will find info on how many inches from the ceiling framed art should be hung. You've done a great job with decorating the place so far, especially since you haven't been in the place that long. Enjoy!

[@capstone9173]

[@Czechbound]

Well done. It's a great life landmark. No idea your finances, but a tip that worked for me : have as short a mortgage term as possible. Then any additional income, dump it against your mortgage. I lived on the same disposable income for a long time, and managed to pay off my mortgage in 10 years ( but still drove a car, and had 2 foreign holidays a year ). And when you're mortgage free ( you may already be ! ), it's a great, great feeling. Congratulations again. Peace and love. And greetings from Prague. CZ. This good news makes my day !

Congrats Adam! Hope you enjoy it! But beware, there will be the downsides of being a homeowner. I learned this lesson the hard way by myself when I bought my house almost 9 years ago. Home repairs can be a nightmare, but you do feel accomplished if you can fix it yourself. However, it looks like your home is fairly new, or at least recently refurbished, so you will probably be good for a while. Cheers!

@@nadogrl that was a a goal he set for himself. You getting a house younger then him has no relevance to that. That’s pretty rude to be honest.
