I should note that I am easily in the black with the number of primers I have in my house.

No, but my ex-wife's house is.


I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.

I have a friend, ( AC man), sold his for 750,000, found another place for 400,000. He enjoyed writing that check.

I would have been an AC guy if I had to choose a profession again, not no damn plumber.

I feel it makes for an easier connection with the peasants.

Hell no. It’s almost like free money. In certain cases and for some people some debt is prudent

I could pay it off any time I want to, but when I’m paying like 1.5% after tax the only reason I’d do that was if writing the check every month somehow became a hassle. If mortgage interest suddenly wasnt tax deductible I MIGHT pay it off. But 30 year money at roughly 3% pre tax is stupid to pass up if you’re fiscally responsible

By age 48 the residence won't be debt anymore.

A few rental props are still owned by the bank, but that's the way I designed that income.

Most of mine are paid off, but still carry paper on two.

Interest deductions can be helpful sometimes.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Paid off, due to 2 years of sweat equity. I built it myself.

No kidding. And for me, forget being a Paramedic or an over the road truck driver, my two careers. Take the other course at the VoTech school, heat and A/C tech.
