Eliminating debt is an awesome feeling! I'm definitely in that phase of my adult life now.

Paid mine off ~8 years ago and it felt great. Recently sold that home, put that money down on a new one an financed the rest for 10 years.

Hope to have it paid off sooner if I can

Not at the moment. Can't put it where it was, anyway. Gonna wait until the niece and nephew are old enough to have legitimate opinions about staying there vs Hilton Head, Jekyll, Savannah, etc.

It is really awesome that your family works well together on such matters. My family always has also, but I've seen so many who don't.

And congratulations on shit-canning the mortgage. But be prepared for the people who may tell you it's stupid to not have a mortgage. Rather than get into a debate, I just humor them and say I'm a dumb-ass with a paid-for home.....

While I'm not on the same financial level as most of you folks, I must say it did feel good when we downsized for retirement and paid cash for our mobile home. While I do still have to pay rent where it sits, that's less than some pay for property taxes.

I can usually do that if they stop talking after the first time. But when they keep going eventually they pull the wrong lever.

Just agree with them.

“Yup, you’re right. Want to lend me $500,000?”
