Millionaire who bought a home at 26 regrets paying off his mortgage early: 'This is the biggest downside no one tells you'
www.cnbc.com
If you're trying to pay off your mortgage early, good for you. I bought my first home at 26 and did it in 12 years. But here's the biggest downside no one tells you.

The downside in the article is that if you live comfortably with your needs met, you lose your motivation to "hustle". :hahaha:

          It’s really an amazing piece. Back in like 2012 or something there was an article like this in Lifehacker I think about a woman and her family trying to budget better. Fine but then she starts talking about private schools, personal shoppers, extravagant purchases and you’re just like “wtf is this? A joke?”

          The author got destroyed in the comments.

      More free time to spend with my wife, growing as a person and experiencing my only life? Fuck that, I need to look at graphs all day.

        Financial instability is like an addiction you have to feed but you can never be free from it lest you spend your time on finding meaning.
