In today volatile world, there is safety in owning your own home. Of all the things you can put your money into, paying off your home will bring you the most peace of mind and the most satisfaction.
We have had several friends lose their jobs in the past two years with the economic down turn. Those that have high debt, endless credit cards debt and high house payments have all but imploded. Family and friends are willing to help others make a house payment now and then, but no one is willing to help pay off bad consumer debt. When times get tough those that have large debt really struggle.
Getting control of debt is the most important thing you can do for yourself, your family and for your peace of mind. We have other friends that have lost their jobs and are in better economic conditions. They have no consumer debt, their house is either paid off or they have paid down to very low payments, and most importantly these people have learned to control their financ es so when they are forced to live on very little they already have the skills to do so.
Controlling our spending is one of the hardest things we have to do. There are so many things to purchase and spend money on and want and need. Saving and then spending is the key. With the current mortgage rates around an all time low it may be time to remortgage your house to a fixed mortgage of maybe 15 or 20 years instead of the current 30 year loan. Get out of debt and enjoy peace of mind!
