I consider it a bad idea to have a multi-level house without
even a half
bathroom on each level.

But if you bought the house when you were 20....

I am living in my 4th purchased item of real estate. A house
purchased
in my 20s would not suit my current needs. I sell and buy as my needs
change through life.

I guess you're one of those who somehow managed to pay off the
mortgage of the 1st three.

You don't have to have paid off the mortgage to be able to change
houses, stupid.

True. We just put all our efforts into paying our mortgage(s) off asap.


Wow, I have to thank Mr. Rod for the laugh calling you stupid for
paying off your mortgage.

Rod is always a laugh and, a lot of the time, an embarrassment.

On my third house and, of course, no mortgage. My secont house
started at 15% and re-fi a couple of times. Can't say I've done
everything right over the years but I knew retirement would be much
better with no debt.

My thoughts precisely. Between owning a mortgage free house and a
superannuation pension, we live quite well.

The thought of renting into retirement was a real deterrent, as was a
mortgage into retirement. A couple we know, the husband into his early
70s, is still working because they have a $300k mortgage. Not an
enviable position at all and not one I would want to be in.


Crazy. i bet if he was a bit smarter he'd downsize and lower or even
eliminate that expense.

Maybe he prefers working to living in a tiny house?

I worked past retirement age because I wanted to but everything was
paid. I cut to four days, then three days, finally out. My job was
easy and as much a social event as it was work.
