Thank you!RedLipstick said:Just seen your post in the ROH! Very well done! Congratulations! What's next? Any big goals or dreams, plans? Very excited for you!For now what’s next is me just feeling very smug, that at 45 I’m mortgage free!No big goals really, I definitely do not want to work in my 60’s, so I guess my focus moves to investing wisely for retirement. I have everything in my life today that I want, which is a lovely place to be.8 -

That’s great to hear! I think it must feel better to pay it off before the standard term you set when you first take out the mortgage. You should feel very proud of yourself an amazing achievement!Archerychick said:
