But to me they are so real because one worked for me not quite long ago.i met this man on a blog his name is Dr Abalaka is a very powerful man.I traveled down to where his shrine his and we both did the ritual and sacrifice.he had no website yet but he promised to create one as costumers are requesting for it, and now i'm free from the powders of sickness.I don't know about you but Voodoo is real;love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,diabetic voodoo,hypertensive voodoo,high cholesterol voodoo,Trouble in marriage,Barrenness(need a child),Luck, Money Spells,he also cure any cancer and HIV,it's all he does. I used my money to purchase everything he used he never collected a dime from. He told me I can repay him anytime with anything from my heart. Now I don't know how to do that. If you can help or you need his help write him on (dr.abalaka@outlook.com) and also his cell number: 760-935-3804 you can text him because he use to be very busy some times,i believe that your story will change for better,or if you have any question you can contact me here as mariambaurice@gmail.com best of luck.Mariamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01812964438797620835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-14257144958087348272019-03-06T10:33:30.972-08:002019-03-06T10:33:30.972-08:00Thanks for the comment.

Even if we grabbed a few more shares of AT&T, which is attractively priced and also paying a juicy dividend above 6%, it would seem more productive than paying down that mortgage, albeit with risk. :)<br /><br />AFFJA Frugal Family's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093532273552790517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-80036264594699920952019-03-06T10:29:27.766-08:002019-03-06T10:29:27.766-08:00Thanks for stopping by and leaving us with the lin...Thanks for stopping by and leaving us with the link.

But given the growth we've seen in our investments, I am reminded each month with the reason why it make most sense to keep building upon our investments. <br /><br />We also figured that at some point, should we choose, we could always cash out some or all of our investments and just pay off our mortgage then. <br /><br />But yes, tracking the mortgage payments and related equity does help in most months when the average home price doesn't drop too much. :)<br /><br />AFFJA Frugal Family's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093532273552790517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-8012277532970588312019-03-06T10:11:00.988-08:002019-03-06T10:11:00.988-08:00We've had a pretty nice ride these last few ye...We've had a pretty nice ride these last few years so I've been expecting this pull back in the California real estate market. But yes, with such a low interest rate, we figured it made more sense to invest our money as opposed to pay extra towards our principal. <br /><br />Appreciate the comment. Best wishes.

That is a low interest, probably better off keeping it and investing in higher interest avenue like the market.<br /><br />Cheers <br />Dividend pursuitDividend Pursuithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15980092641824667428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-1451827849856823132019-02-11T08:51:17.462-08:002019-02-11T08:51:17.462-08:00Your plan is quite similar to ours, as we are plan...Your plan is quite similar to ours, as we are planning to be mortgage free as we go into early retirement but in a slightly different manner. We would like to move to a LCOL area for retirement, and our current equity should cover the purchase of a new home outright.<br /><br />Of course that might change, as we are currently dealing with some of those aging parent issues. My FIL has some serious health battles right now, and we have been helping him a lot. It hasn't reached a point of him needing to move in with us, but who knows what the future holds.<br /><br />I think they call that the sandwich generation, where you are caring for your own kids and also having to help care for aging parents.

I've recently decided to pay off my mortgage early. Granted the interested is slightly higher than yours at 3.5%, but still pretty low overall. But, I'm doing a pretend refi where I pay off the 30-year fixed in 15 years (or less) without actually refinancing.<br /><br />I go back and forth whether I want to pay it off early, and when I think it's probably better to keep the 30 year time horizon, I use the fact that the interest rate is low and that I can make more in the stock market as justification for that approach - kind of like what you've done. I suppose only time will tell, if I've made the right choice.<br /><br />Finally, I might follow your approach and track the reduction of my mortgage payment on a monthly basis - to provide extra motivation and/or accountability. Thanks for the inspiration.Dividend Portfoliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11906423996617586742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893129263573703047.post-8209076559534288752019-02-08T21:42:21.643-08:002019-02-08T21:42:21.643-08:00How good.
