It is an AMAZING feeling to have no more mortgage. But our house is woefully small. You can barely turn around in both bathrooms. No basement A crawl space for an attic that is hardly even usable for storage due to cross beams. A kitchen that you bump into each other if we are both in there trying to cook together. It's really the size of an apartment IMO However, I have no desire to move. We only have one child, so while the house is small, it's doable. If we had 2 children we would be expanding our current house by putting a second floor on, rather than moving. I like our yard, our location, our school. But for now, we are enjoying the extra money per month, going to start saving more, I will eventually lease a new car for myself, and yes, put the money towards more travelling. Personally I wouldn't do a summer house either because I'd prefer to go to different locations and if I bought a summer home I'd feel obligated to always vacation there. Amazing!! Congrats!!!!We have a looong way to go. Message edited 6/22/2018 3:30:59 PM.
