    Congratulations! How did it feel?
    It’s very weird! I’m very happy, had a smile on my face since I made that final payments. It’s really nice!
    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! 
    Yes, very much so. Eight years early 🥳 I’ve saved a lot of interest doing that!
