My wife and I only owe on the house we bought 3 years ago and my truck. The truck I have " play money " to pay it off and will after the holidays. We have worked hard to get to this point. In the 3 years we have owned this house we have made double mortgage payments every month and have really knocked down the balance. Any credit card debt is paid in full every month. She retired a little over a year ago and I plan to do so in 5-6 years. I hope to have the house paid off in that time or be very close. I put 20% of my pay into a 401K each week that my employer adds 3.5% as a match plus we have other savings. We are fortunate that we both had/have good paying jobs for 20 + years but it was also just good hard work and staying within our means. I have plenty of toys for my retirement that are all paid for so as long as we stay healthy we will stick to our plan.........it seems to be working.
