I'm 38, DW is 33. We're on a bit of a buzz since our recreational lake lot was paid off two weeks ago and the mortgage on our home is going to be paid off this week.
Is it OK to revitalize what is an old fashioned custom by throwing a mortgage burning party? Sitting Pretty: Mortgage-Burning Party
We thought that it would be great fun but since these parties aren't really in vogue these days we aren't sure if having a mortgage burning party might be misunderstood and viewed as showing off or cause jealousy in friends who are older than us and who are still sitting on 6 figure mortgages.
We have squirrelled away money for years to do this, it feels great, and we'd like to celebrate reaching our big milestone with friends, but we'd much rather keep it to ourselves if it could mean hard feelings. Any thoughts?
