Even though the value of my place has increased 300% since I bought it 11 years ago (If you Google Vancouver BC real estate prices you will see it is sickly out of whack with reality), I won't be paying it off anytime soon. I can only dream about being payment free in the future. Good on you, and enjoy your freedom of monthly payments!! I have honestly considered moving south to the Dakotas where some of my friends live, just because it's a place where you can actually own a house. The average price for a detached house where I am is $1.1 million (it's a suburb called Richmond in case you want to nerd out and actually look it up). And the Canadian and American dollar are only off by about 3 cents from being at par at the moment. As someone that will probably never be mortgage free, I wish you good luck in your debt free life lol.
