We moved in June of 2007 and will have the house paid off in 16 more months. Lots of sacrifices in order to do this. I am waiting until the house is paid for before starting to restore the Firebird, remodel the house or buy her a new car. We have no kids or car payments, everything we own is paid for, except the house and utilities. We even conserve on the utilities to keep up with our quick pay off like using the clothes dryer to help heat the house when we are doing laundry, thermostat at 80 during the summer and 65 in the winter, fluorescent bulbs throughout the house, etc...... Her Honda Del Sol gets close to 40 mpg and I only drive my truck a little over 2,000 miles a year since I have a company work van, so gas prices aren't that much of an issue. We want to pay off the house so fast in case something happens to one of our jobs it will be one less thing to worry about and even if we pay have to pay the regular payment we have knocked off about 18 years off the 30 year mortgage and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars, which will go to the Firebird.
