My wife called me into the dining room today in a sort of serious tone. I walk in and she shows me our mortgage account on her laptop where it shows a balance of around $1100 and she's smiling. She proceeds to tell me that she's been selling her stocks and has been making payments on the house with the money she's made from that. As I'm picking my jaw up off the floor, she tells me that she's on her way to make the last payment. The last payment!
She has stayed home with our boys and hasn't had a job for 8 years now, but she's always made the most of it helping with their schoolwork, teaching them another language, swimming, sports, all while I work - and doing it all sensibly from a money standpoint.Our house is not big, or lavish but it's ours and I can't fucking believe we own it!

- She seems like a keeper. I'd have been tempted to leave more in stocks to let it build but can't argue with mortgage-free, mine took me the 25 years.comicsans
- Thats great news but with mortgage rates so low your money is probably better in the market right now. I'm not a financial advisor, I just play one online.fooler
- with the money they aren't putting into the mortgage, they can build back the investment portfolio, and that's super awesomemonospaced
