So thankful. Bought my house at 19 and now im 25 and just paid off my mortgage last month with zero help from anyone.

We are mid 60s. Mortgage free, no credit card debt, no car payments, what a great feeling!

Am I the only one who gets excited and starts clapping around the house when we listen to stories like this? This motivates me! Well done

Just finished paying off my home and now I'm ready to dive into investing. I've got $350k ready to go and want to make sure I do this right for some solid passive income. Any advice from the community?

Paid off our 140, 000 mortgage 23 yrs early.The freedom we feel now is "priceless!" Thank you Dave!

Paid off our house back in April. Sent the wire transfer for the remaining balance on my 36th birthday. Feels really good. I find myself sometimes just reminding myself that “hey, this thing is paid off”. 😄

My wife and I are in our 40s and paid off our home early this weekend. What an incredible feeling. It's worth $650, 000.
EDIT: Here is some clarification, due to some concerns in the comments.
I built the home in 2005 . Loan was for $240, 000.

8 months to go before we get our house paid off. I cant wait, I think about it every month. This will be a great accomplishment at 36 years old.

I too in the paid off club, and have never heard anyone say "I hate that I paid my mortgage off early."

This is awesome! I’m on my debt free journey, paid off $26k of my $40k student loan, and then $80k left on a mortgage, sometimes I get overwhelmed thinking about it but then I hear stories like this and get really motivated for the next 6 years!

[japolo]

That freedom is something worth fighting for! I’m 32, my wife is 31 and we’re about to be 100% debt free, including our house in the next 2 months 🙌🏼 Thankful to the Ramsey team for all their wisdom

[harrisonjamie]

Well that would be impossible to do considering I'm in my late 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement in my 60s, my goal is at least $2million.

Pay off your debt, live below your means, save, invest and continue listening to Dave Ramsey. When broke people tell you this system doesn't work, consider the source.

Best thing in my life was to come across this wisdom 5 years ago, Thanks Dave and thanks to a complete stranger in the airport of Boston that mentioned you in a random conversation about life over some beers while waiting for our flight! Watching you in the last 5 years has become an addiction, a good one I might had. Got the house paid at 39 and laugh at the math geniuses that keep defending to stay in debt for longer to "win on the spread". Next target is to achieve USD 1M net worth...almost there, planning to be there when I am around 46. If only I have met this man ten years earlier!

We paid off our house 1 week ago. We paid a 30 year mortgage (yeah, yeah I know. Got the mortgage before I started listening to Dave.) off in just under 9 years. It took a lot of self control the last month or two to not raid my emergency fund and pay it off sooner. I didn't want Murphy showing up so we waited. My wife and I are in our mid 40s. Looking forward to saving for early retirement and traveling more.

33 with a paid off condo as of 3 months ago and it’s incredible. Putting 25% into my 401k(22% plus a 3% match), 25% of take home into my brokerage and living life. It’s super relieving beyond making money from the spread of the stock market. No car debt(paid cash for a model 3 performance recently), no credit cards, no student loans. Life is a breeze now. $300k net worth on $45k salary.

Dave says the greatest thing about money invest it, enjoy it and be generous with it ❤️

[HunteroftheNorth]

We paid off our house Dec 2020.
We bought it 9 years ago for 314K and now its worth almost 550k, not that I like this insane market we live in right now.

[JA-zhxi]

It was a great feeling making that last payment on our house - 13 years early.

[fordify]

Took me a year to decide on whether to pay the house off or hang onto the cash. I paid it off last month and I have absolutely zero regrets 🎉 it’s very liberating to be debt free! No car payments either 😊
