My house is my retirement fund

Bill · 2012-07-31, 08:09 PM

One of the best things I ever did was pay off my house and my debts in the good days. It's let me stay stable.

I dont have a lot of advice to give about taking retirement money and paying off the house - other than, gather advice, run the numbers, and make a decision.

Paying penalties to keep a house you love is a trade I might make - but financial guys might tell me I was dumb to do so.

Downsizing, and letting go of something that ties you to the world in a certain way, might equally well be the right decision.

That's a heavy choice to make.

Almost a spiritual choice. Path of life kind of thing.
