It is great to know that you are like me! Those are terrific plans, @tattoodjay! I know for a fact that many pay their homes outright. I recall in the past when I placed an offer for a house that I wanted to purchase, I was outbid by another woman who was ready to pay for the property with cash, outright! That impressed me so much!
Also, you and I know that there are "regular hard-working" Americans who are quiet millionaires. They have no revolving debts, they have a savings account, they have their retirement accounts, they have a few stocks and bonds, they have a few equities, they have a few CD's, they own a home and a rental property, and a lot of cash and precious metals hoarded somewhere. Being a millionaire is not a fantastic notion or vain hope or a pipe dream. It is something that can be attained even by regular average wage earners in the US. Hehehe... I guess that is one of the true use of the phrase: "only in America"!
Have a beautiful week, my friend, @tattoodjay, and take care 🥰🌺🤙 !tip
