This is where I've been for quite some time also. To be clear, I suspect the folks on this thread have their act together and carry managable debt, but $ simply is not what I think life is all about. When I decided to exit the corporate world at 48 some years ago, it might have been the best decision I've ever made...other than getting the education which paved the way. I'm probably poor by comparison to many here, but my time (WAY more valuable than mere $) is mine....wouldn't have it any other way
. All of my houses/property have been paid off for years, and they are a hassle too...but I reckon that is indeed a 1st world problem that's good to have. You can't take it with you when you go...either time or money. I know many don't understand...those that are motivated by $$$....I'm just not one
