Great job. Getting out of any sort of debt is a real feeling of freedom. Hope you gave them the middle finger on your way out the door for me. My business accounts were inherited by them when Wachovia went under after '08 and they are a continuing criminal enterprise as far as I'm concerned.

Congrats! We did the same 2 years ago, and it's been really nice not having to make that payment every month. Good idea on opening up new accounts to put the extra money into. I'm ashamed to say that a large portion of mine has gone to fund gun purchases of dubious necessity, lol.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

You'll sleep better in your own house instead of the one owned by Hells Fargo.

FYI, if you were paying property taxes thru escrow (included in the house payment) reach out to your City or County and let them know it is paid off and to switch the billing to you,
we thought that was automatic, and it was not, thankfully , I have another property that is paid off, and when I got the tax bill, it reminded us to go fix the billing for the house
Congratulations! We’ve done it once and then bought lake property and built. 19-20 months away from having it paid off. Once it’s done will hopefully buy a piece of rental property and start the process again.
