Why I Paid Off My Mortgage

"Ever since I started this site, I set one specific goal - I wanted to become financially independent. There are other aspects to my long term goals of this site, but the fundamental facets to becoming financially independent are: #1) Increasing passive income and #2) Decoupling needs from money (reducing expenses). My decision to pay off my mortgage negatively impacted #1, and positively impacted #2." - BraveNewLife.com
