[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2755938, member: 313"] Both of my kids have mortgages with rates around 3%. Real estate around here is stupid expensive, and the monthly mortgage payment is economically oppressive. But when I tell them that in the early 80s, I closed on our house with a mortgage rate of 12.75% they feel a lot better. I can remember refinancing my mortgage at 10.5% and doing the dance of joy. I felt the weight of the world got lifted off my shoulders knowing that I could hold onto the house. It's been 40 years now and I'm still here in the same house. No mortgage, no job and happily retired. 😁 😁 😁 [/QUOTE]
