Terpe, Englishman said, after giving all that sound advice to steve, that it would take him until he is 250yo to pay off his house. Of course you put any spare money into your debts which includes your mortgage. What I did mean was, dont kill yourself to pay off your mortgage early. Commonsense, dont you think? I am a home owner, so are many here. Our kids are or will not be so lucky. We are a dying breed. There lives will go on, they will have children get married, be happy. All im saying is, home ownership is not the end of it. I wonder how many will lose there homes in later life to pay for health care? then still get the same health care as the guy in the council house. We were lucky to be born in an era when banks lent and money was cheap. Now our children and our childrens children have to pay for our extravagances. Woe woe and more woe![]()
