How many brag about paying off your house threads do you need ? This is at least the second one.

Ahh I see you paid your other house off in 2020. Baller.





Edit: Dude has paid his house off 3 times since 2020

A gigantic mortgage and about &9k in student loans at 1.875%. Needless to say I am dragging my feet to pay the student loan in one lump sum

Oh poor little fella.

Yes, my wife works as a Registered Nurse. She chooses to work because she feels like she was born to be a nurse. She could quit tomorrow and is just shy of 42.

I was in the military for over 20 years. Whilst in, I took every penny and started 2 businesses and started investing in real estate. 2008 made me a LOT of money. I bought property in coastal California for pennies on the dollar because I had cash on hand from my deployments and businesses (lawn care servicing commercial and government contracts and a Paintless Dent Repair business).

Oh and Mingo you're such an angry little fella. Such an ax to grind. It's really not becoming.

A whole metric frickload.

I made my own way and wasn't given anything and im young, so it doesn't bother me much. It's mostly "good" debt, if there is such a thing.

I have a mortgage, one car payment (wife's car is paid off), no credit card debt, combined student loans b/t both of us of ~$3000 remaining, and a small HELOC we took out to do some renovations recently. We could pay off the HELOC but doesn't make a ton of sense with only needing to pay ~50$ in interest a month and it just being tied to the equity of our home that has increased in value by about 60% since we bought it. I'd rather have more money available to invest elsewhere for a higher rate of return.

Use CCs for everything and auto-pay in full monthly
(we follow a budget and are pretty disciplined) - zero CC debt beyond the interest-free period.

Have a mortgage and $ of same amount invested - to work positive spread (interest earned on invested $ > mortgage interest)

Zero other debt.

I like Dave Ramsey except for using others' money for things where you can be disciplined and actually earn money on debt (vs. pay through the nose for debt).

I'm sure this thread will be filled with the truth.

Owe around $15k on some property in Florida and $10k on some property overseas. Both have zero interest so there hasn't been a rush to pay either off.

Since the 10k forgiven

My Student Loans -- $12k
Car Note -- $13k

We use CCs for the miles/rewards, but pay off every month.

Moving in march. Currently in the process of buying a house. Loan should be 100-125k. Many fine starter homes in the midwest in this range. Hope to make double mortgage payments each month, will still be MUCH lower than our current rent.

Just my mortgage, therefore I'm considered an "enemy" of the American left.

He is a fricking lying idiot, not to mention he doesn't understand money

Why would someone pay off a mortgage with interest under 3% when inflation will be minimum 5% this year? Talk about throwing money away.

Same with the idiots that bang on people taking out 8 year 1.9% car loans. And then brag about paying off their car. Dumb

He's a troll, but there 25 posters in all of his threads that can't help themselves.
