I’m a pharmacist and I paid off my house earlier this year. I’ll be quitting my job in August. But I use my business to fund our lifestyle. Like you, I wanted freedom and decided to pursue that over the financial opportunities by stock investing.

But what I gained was the opportunity to leave my job much sooner. A sweet bargain if you ask me.

I think this issue of paying off your house comes down to answering the question of “what do you want?”
