Congratulations! Just a though on a lower interest rate, wouldn't it be better to keep the monthly repayment as you are on now. It would work out as extra repayments, and shorten your effective loan term? What an awesome situation to be in. Congratulations!

I do charge on my PenFed credit card, but I don't carry a balance. And no car payments.... Did you get in on the 15 year fixed?? Im glad for you... It does feel really, really good.

I've also got most of my home and investment property loans on interest-only, as I'm better off investing any spare income in my tax-sheltered retirement fund rather than just paying off some of my mortgage balance.

If things go the way Darling and I plan, we'll be debt free by the time I'm 25. Already I have a difficult time relating to my peers, many of whom are busy tunneling their way into debt at great speed. Think of how great it will be when that mortgage is all gone…
