True - and like we say, as long as the house is paid off/new home purchased debt free within 5 years, gonna buy me a golf cart and play some bocci for fun. No car payment/upkeep/insurance. No more paying for kids, no more anything but booze, edibles and internet. And Fuck Jay Inslee we're at it - gonna take all those capital gains elsewhere, motherfucker.RaceBannon said:The low mortgage rates are the thread keeping the whole thing together just like low interest rates keep the borrowing going.

Sort of how I imagine @RaceBannon lives right now.

I noted last year that as the economy shut down the rich neighborhoods were full of tradesmen remolding both for owners and for profit. Also need that foreign money to keep pouring in to justify the prices
Orange County prime ocean is where Beverley Hills was and the high end in LA on a big flat lot with 20,000 sf is near 100 million

Interest rates never hit 15-16% at anytime in the 1970s let alone the early 70s but cool story bro. It's almost like a story a whiney Kunt would tell.dflea said:
Do tell. I'm not the only one here whose folks were paying 15-16% on their first mortgage back in the early 70's. In fact over the last 50 years, the rates have been below 6% for about 10 of them.LoneStarDawg said:Imagine thinking an “MBA in finance” is supposed to impress people.
No shit the loss isn’t realized until you sell. If rates pop up to ~6% nobody is buying anyone’s 800k home nor able to borrow at that rate.
What a dumb fuck.
No need to spaz like you're in some Tug thread. -

Of course, my money market account was paying 15% too. -
Just refi'd to a 15 year fixed at 2.375% in November. Immediately went from paying about 57% to the interest each month to paying 72% toward the principal each month. Playing around with paying an additional $500 each month and the savings in interest over the life of the loan are not insignificant. I went from thinking I'd always have a mortgage to realistically paying this place off in less than 10 years. If I can get my wife to stop buying expensive cars and put that money toward the mortgage I could have the place paid off before I retire.

That's a good deal. If you're convinced like @HoustonHusky that the Fed will keep this house of cards propped up for a while longer, you might take that $500 and put in the market. The net gain is easy against 2.375% interest, and your house is increasing in value as well.SFGbob said:Just refi'd to a 15 year fixed at 2.375% in November.

I went to a 15 year back a billion years ago at 4.5%, which relative to where they'd been bumping along was like a home run for timing the market. It was miraculous. And that 15 years flew by quickly.

This...although you can put it in a basket of gold, value stocks, watches, guns, etc... Although I say these things but I'm not running out to go refinance/cash-out my mortgage to do the same...not too far from having it to a point I can write a check and pay it off anytime and I kinda like that comfort. My brother is turning his backyard into basically a resort...he has the cash to pay it off tomorrow but the bank is willing to loan him the $$$ at some god-awful low interest rate I could never get and he's going to take them up on it.creepycoug said:

There is something comforting to me psychologically about having my house completely paid off free and clear. I know that it doesn't always make sense financially but being the cheapskate I am I love not owing anyone one else money and not paying any interest. Besides, the wife and I both put the maximum in our 401Ks every year and have been doing so for over 25 years and I'm old enough now that I also have been maxing the catch up amount as well each year, I really don't feel the need to be putting anymore money in the market each year. The power of compound interest is a beautiful thing. Greatest move I have ever made financially was just leaving my money in simple index funds and not touching it. Yeah I could have probably made more by chasing some hot stocks but really, how much does a guy like me need to retire?creepycoug said:

Makes sense. I do not like the idea of a mortgage either and always maintained a year's worth (or more) of mortgage payments in a cash account that I just made myself forget was there. -
The Throbber is still bouncing back from the 50% loss to his net worth in the early 2000's.
Fucking community property laws.
