How old were you when you had your mortgage paid off?

My mortgage is a psychological burden on me. It’s not huge but I’d like to have it paid off sooner rather than later. I have it in my head that it needs to be paid off right now.

Im early 40s and hoping to have it paid off by the time I’m about 58. If I’m not a pile of dust from the menopause by then!

I didn’t buy until I was mid 30s and took it over a 35 year term. Gulp.

I was 44. Such a great feeling

What is the point of this thread? Who cares that so many MNers paid theirs off at relatively young ages?

we took out our mortgage when I was 28, it was cleared at 45 but only because both my parents had died by this stage and I used my inheritance.

We paid ours off by downsizing and using the spare cash to invest in pensions and that was when I was 50
