[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=svelte][quote=scaredyclassic]im not sure i can see a future where having no mortgage is the smart move for anyone with some other assets and income. [/quote]
that doesn’t sound like a scaredy cat…has this site affected your outlook?
I’m at the age where I just want to pay off everything and cruise into retirement. I’m paying down my cars, my mortgage, electricity is now free. I don’t have any kids to support, my wife lets me do whatever the f I want when I want to do it. What else could I ask for?
I can now look forward to retirement in a few years where all I do is pay my various taxes, my insurance, buy a bit of food and live worry free. I’ll sleep when i want, eat when I want, get intoxicated when I want, travel when I want, answer to no one.
The day is coming up fast and I am ready.[/quote]
Maybe ive grown from scaredycat to cynicalcat. I cant see a future where the markets are permitted to reset. Or where markets are free.
At 0 percent interest, best to have a mortgage. At close to zero, same. 2.5% probably that too.[/quote]
I want it paid off. This will help me do it faster.
