Let me clue you in Mr or Ms first time homeowner.. You are never done doing what you want to do, should do or have to do. But it’s going to be yours…..some day. Enjoy it. Write down your own phone number on the fridge so you can call yourself up when something breaks./

Yup. It took us 24 years to pay off from first house payment to last. There were some wild times reselling and good times refinancing. The day we clocked the last mortgage payment made it all worth it. And it made retirement doable.
