Our monthly mortgage payment is about $1000 a month, and we’re paying the whole thing off this month, so I guess we’ll be pretty far ahead of the African tent rental cost.
We only have white tail deer, raccoons, coyotes, skunks, possums, groundhogs, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, various birds, and an occasional bobcat in these parts. Nothing exotic, but very, very American heartland. Once I saw a weasel or something related crawling through my yard, but haven’t seen one since.
No bears, no alligators, so it works for me.
Congratulations on paying off your mortgage! Great accomplishment!
Paid off my FRM in 1Q 2014 and paid off the last car loan in 2Q 2024.
Debt-free is REAL freedom!
