Yay!!!!!! I had refinanced to a 10 year and I've actually accomplished paying it off in five. I had visions of saving and investing the rest of the money so that hubby and I can travel more. Once the mortage is paid off, we are debt free! I haven't really thought beyond that point except that I would like to move somewhere else within the next three to five years.~JarieLyn~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02519086938256175022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5571749075036803790.post-18583391372859360892009-09-14T14:49:17.314-07:002009-09-14T14:49:17.314-07:00Nancy, you've expressed it PERFECTLY!!!
