Couple years ago we had a buyout offer from a former employer vs. later monthly retirement and decided to take it and pay off our mortgage even though the tax implications for that were poor. We just decided we weren’t going to get rid of all of our debt before retirement any other way. Now we’re working on everything else as I’m still working full time at 60 and she is babysitting and receiving a couple minor pensions and social security at almost 68.
Looks like we will take the same path. Can’t live for today and not worry about debt. I guess that is what makes us who we are. Been retired a couple of months and starting to get restless. It’s a curse!
Thanks for feedback.
