My mortgage was back in the day of about 8 1/2 percent. Talk about an expensive loan! Fortunately I finished it probably 20 years ago but what a relief. Congratulations on yours!! | |||

When wife and I built our house, we went with a 15-year mortgage instead of the standard 20- or 30- versions. We paid it off in October 2008, just when the Stock Market crashed due to the prime loan mortgage crap of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Since then, we’ve been putting aside the same amount of the monthly mortgage payments into a savings account which we’ve used for house repairs, improvements, and vacation requirements. This might not be a bad idea to have as it’ll give you some freedom and peace of mind should emergencies arise. --------------------- LGBFJB "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

Yep, it's a very liberating feeling when your Castle is really yours! We bought our current home when I was 38 and went with the 15 yr loan because after crunching the figures we saved over 80k that way and the payments were only a $150. more a month. I had to talk the wife into it as we were stretched for a few years to make those higher payments because we were putting our two girls through private schools. But it was well worth the strain. | |||

We did something similar. We were closing in on retirement and spent the last 3 working years concentrating all our extra money on reducing debt. Shortly before we pulled the plug on our jobs, we succeeded on retiring all of our debt and have remained debt free ever since. The feeling of financial freedom is overwhelming........

Ms. Bytes and I decided to pay our mortgage off for our Christmas present. It was pretty fun dropping the check off at our local Chase branch. It was the second most fun thing her and I have done together. Congrats to you and your family DF! | |||

Yeah, I got one of those a couple decades ago. Have to set the stage: I was entertaining leaving IBM for various reasons, wife and I had been talking about it for some time. Came home from work one day and the Mrs proceeded to inform me that she had paid off the mortgage on the house. Seems she figured that if we/I left IBM we could not afford the house payment, so she used our "reserve account" money to pay off the mortgage. That her plan was to put those mortgage payments we no longer had back into that account, instead of to the bank. Not a bad plan. It worked, and I stayed with IBM until I retired. Those are the "bombs" that we really, really like to have dropped on us.

You might check with your mortgage holder to see about paying more each month. Don't know of any banks, etc, who can prevent it. Make sure that extra money goes toward the principle balance, and the lender does not use some funny accounting to try to defeat the idea of paying it off sooner! Paying it off sooner costs them money. We were doing that when Mrs. Elk paid off the balance, from our "emergency" account.

Serenity now! |
That's fantastic! There is no better feeling than being out of debt. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice. ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ | |||
