Congratulations! Some people are just jealous because they are drowning in debt.

This is true. Your dollar would have made it all the way to DC to some scumbag politician and then into a stripper's arse crack.

I did that on my last house, but when we went to upgrade the rate was 2.62%, so I mortgaged $200K and kept a ton of cash.

Good job man. I paid off my previous home, sold it and bought 3 acres and built new. Sitting on my porch debt free. It’s awesome!

It will hurt your credit,
I just bought my niece a Tuscon as a graduation gift and they ran my credit and it dropped it 34 points. I was at 812 and I paid everything off and my credit dropped to 778 the reason on the equifax said lack of a home loan.
This is question the reguators should have to explain. it's bullshite

Now you get to just rent it from the Parish/County instead of the Parish and the bank.

Congrats! How far into your mortgage were you?


$224k. Paid with savings I’d been accumulating for a while and been sitting on cash for a year or so anyway in the volatile market.

Good call... he's also recently posted about tipping movers and has claimed to typically pay around $60k in taxes annually.

We paid ours off a few years ago, and it is the best feeling especially during the craziness of the last two years. No regrets!

All in all, you're leaving $385k on the table for cash flow peace of mind. Definitely financially better to pay minimum and invest, but not as extreme as laid out



It's all a gamble. We take for granted that the stock market will more or less always increase in the long term. You also have to be alive after 30 years to realize the gain. If you get laid off a couple of times along the way, it is way better to not have a house payment than theoretical dollars.
