Home... OWNERS!

My wife and I paid off our home in December 2024 just before Christmas!

It feels great actually OWNING our house!

We've had the money saved up for some time but we're doing the whole "should we save it in investments or pay the house off" game.

The company I work for recently had layoffs which was a scare for us and made Dave's advice finally hit home. I've also gotten into a habit of looking at foreclosed houses near me always wondering "what if?".

Since buying our house, I've always (half) joked that "this was the banks house, they're letting us stay in it" . I'm glad to be able to retire that joke now!

The peace of mind that our home is no longer in the control of a bank is so freeing.
