[quote=UCGal]For me, the cool thing about it is that I will no longer be a wage slave if I can reduce my expenses by having no debt. It takes a lot less to get by on if you don’t have the 2 big payments (mortgage & car loan) to factor into your budget. That’s freedom.[/quote]
I disagree. With rising health care costs and rising food prices, not having mortgage & car loan doesn’t equal to freedom.
