I built my home in 2001...
Moved in the week between Christmas and New Years 2001. I will make my last payment next month so it has taken me just over 18 years.
For me it was what I wanted. I wanted to own my home outright so that at minimum if things went bad for me financially my family would have a house and a place to be.
The fact that I will no longer have a payment is also a great feeling.
I am sure you’ll get replies telling you why you shouldn’t pay it off early but I’ll disagree with all of them. I personally think that owning your home outright gives you a peace of mind and a level of stability that is worth more than those dollars being in the bank or invested elsewhere.

For the people who say you should not pay off early because you get better returns investing that money, do you
