Show of Hands

Well, I was down to 80k and 3% before she left me. We were on track to pay it off in 3 more years.

Now I’m at 270k and 60% for 30 years.

Ain’t that a kick in the pants?

Paying now but it will be paid by next year!

One is owned outright. The other is more than halfway paid off.

After my divorce (about 10 years ago?), I bought an older fixer upper home for $130,000 cash. The last time I checked, it had really increased in value.

We have paid off 3 in the last 46 years. My boys grew up hearing never get a 30 year note over and over!

Rent to own. We’ll be over 70 by the time it’s paid off.

No one really ever owns their home. If the government can take your property for nonpayment of taxes, you don’t own it. If government can take your property under eminent domain laws and hand it over to a developer, you don’t own your home.

I owe, I owe, so off to work I go.

The idea of even getting a mortgage is not something I could see myself in the position to do in the next 5 years.

I wish we could overlay this with how much these houses are that were paid off.

My parents house I grew up in was $160,000 whereas today that same house is close to $400,000.

I was lucky and got mine before the market blew up at $350k. Now it is worth $550k which is an insane change in just a few years.

Finished in 15 years. Before the kids went to college. 24 years ago.

Except for the annual property taxes…

3 years in and only $10,000 off the loan smh

Totally paid off, as of this past March; exactly…to the day…one decade early!

The house I live in with my parents is paid off. I personally don’t own a house

Debt is dumb. Cash is KING. 👑
