When will people realize that their mortgages are exactly the same thing?

The company store credit card of slaves.

Housing is a necessity. You can either pay your landlord, or pay yourself. Your rent is NEVER paid off. Your mortgage is eventually paid off. Choose wisely.

I strongly disagree with you. I kind of like the idea of paying a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 3% when the inflation rate is being reported at 8% but is probably much higher than that.

How about that, I slaved my way to financial independence and didn’t even know it.

LOL!

I bought my house in 2014 for $350k, 20% down. Refinanced. Mis about $230 with $1600 payments. A 2-br apartment rents for over $2k.

The similar house next door (a little larger by 125 sqft
) sold last month for $850k.

Money freed up by mortgage went stayed in quality dividend-paying stocks.
