I have lived in the same house for 17 years. The amount we owe on it is so little that it could be sold and we could buy a house for cash with the proceeds. It is also a great feeling to know that we could pay off our mortgage any time we want to. The first 3 years we lived in our home it went down in value and there was a lot of doom and gloom in the market just like today. Thanks for the link love and I like the post too.
