My house will be paid off in 5 years when I�m 40. I�ll probably buy a lake house at that point.

My home in Fritch and Lake Fork are both paid for.

With an AR15?

THis house will be paid off by the time I�m 37 . Got lucky !

House is paid for but guess what? Still have to pay the $420 a month for property taxes. Lovely.

Everyone in Texas will have house payments, You only rent your house from the Property Tax Man in Texas

28 more years and this baby is mine

Don't have any mortgage payments, but put $700/month aside for property taxes every year...so, might as well have a small mortgage payment. Money not paid into a mortgage goes into retirement account.

Buy more property, no way you put money in savings....lowest possible return

Dave Ramsey has some purdy good advice on handling debt...

One thing I've learned is that people who pay off their house start paying more attention to their property taxes and the cost of their home owners insurance. It becomes lump sum rather than escrow.

No house payment since the middle of 1998. We don't live in a large, fancy house (it was built in the 60s and has just over 2,000 sq. ft.) but it is comfortable for the two of us. Taxes are low - less than $2K/yr. Makes retirement easy.

Three houses. One paid for, two with mortgages. But the two mortgaged properties pay the tax & insurance on my home.

No house payments, I will be making my giant tax payment to the property tax office next week so i can keep them.

my house has been paid for since I retired almost 14 years ago...1,700 sq ft plus screened in back porch,fishing room and double carport plenty big enough for wife and I �....taxes run approx. $1,400 and insurance about $1,200.00 per year...

not wealthy but having everything paid for when we retired has enabled us to travel all over U.S. and Canada several times plus I go to argentina dove hunting and mexico fishing each year....
