Good for you paying off your mortgage so fast! We are about 10k shy to pay it off in just over 3 but let me tell you it’s not been easy but it’s going to be SO worth it. Can’t wait to experience what you already feel mate! What do you do now that the mortgage is paid? What is life after debt for you? Do you invest more in retirement funds,TFSA, another home? Sorry so many questions, I’m just nosey! Have a great weekend. Mr.CBB

MM – I could say the same about you!
Mr. CBB – that is so awesome. Well, for a while, we just pumped extra into savings (RRSP, TFSA), and then we bought another house (i.e. sold the old one, moved, and bought a new one – not a second home!). So that took up all our extra money.
Mo – you’re welcome and glad you’re all better!
Thanks for mentioning my post!
