Congrats, Serie1926! When I paid off mine in 1998, it was great being able to cover all my monthly expenses with one biweekly paycheck. That was a big step towards my FIRE although it would take 10 years to get there. But paying off my mortgage enabled me to switch to P/T work in 2001 and I could still easily cover my greatly reduced monthly expenses.

The options which opened up after paying off my mortgage and being debt-free were crucial to my FIRE.
 
Congrats! We are still working on ours, but hopefully some day we'll share your joy.
 
Good Work, and Dave would be proud as you should be!


Keep on saving!
 
Thanks guys!

We're going into overdrive on savings now. We both turn 48 next year and plan to be liquid $5M by 55. If all goes according to plan, pray that our 55th birthdays will be our last day at the office!
 
Congratulations! It sounds like you are doing great and have a good plan to get to ER.
 
Congrats! Debt free means more savings.
