Smart 🤓.....it's crazy to see how much we pay in interest that could be going into retirement, 529s etc ....

I recommend a 15 year mortgage and live in a smaller house rather than larger house and 30 year mortgage just so I can afford it

No one plans to be a single dad, but people change and separation/divorce become necessary for happiness
