What burns me is when they talk about a half-cent sales tax being added on like it's nothing when it's actually a 7% increase. Pure deception. Whatever happened to taxation without representation? Just glad that I retired at such a young age and have more money than I know what to do with.
Quoted from Reality_Studio:A mortgage is a bargain because it can make you a pile of money. Interest rates have been so low that you are better off leveraging that. To each their own of course, but personally paying off a mortgage is a financial mistake.
Leverage it on what, exactly? My mtg rate is 2.875% fixed. I owe 55K. You tell me a risk free investment that pays higher as my broker can't.
Quoted from o-din:Leverage on making sure you keep on kissing whoever you work for's ass.
Heaven forbid losing whatever job is paying for your sky high mortgage payments.
Since I paid off my house 15 years ago, I've had a few periods of unemployment, mostly because the boss was a real dickhead, and never felt the need to beg to keep said job. Life's been stress free and easy since I decided long ago to owe nobody a thing.
1. I am retired and can pay my balance off with money I have in the bank.
2. My payment is 1500 bucks.
3. You don't know everything.
I have debated paying off the mortgage, but my accounts do tend to average a return greater than the loan rate I am paying, therefore it is a net gain. My point earlier was to see if there was a popular vehicle that people might be using for a better return.
