God I like this guy! Congrats!
Your a great person !!!! Thanks for the LIKE !!!!! Theres a ton of haters on here, probably just jealous !!!! I understand why, because paying off your house is like climbing mount everest and most people just simply dont have the discipline in them to accomplish that task. They would rather be less than nice to people that do. lol !!!!!
Doug, you have it all wrong. Think about where you are. A forum with (compared to society) a disproportionately highly educated (heavy on the engineering), focused on saving, etc, community. I'd be very surprised anyone here is hating on you because of jealousy. More likely a combination of:
Your punctuation is absolutely ridiculous. Lol is not interchangeable with a period. 5+ exclamation marks can be appropriate once a post/paragraph to delineate extreme excitement (ending 50% of your sentences that way makes me think you are a high-strung annoying individual IRL). Capitalizing whole sentences is the equivalent of yelling those words IRL. The way you post alone is nauseating.
On top of that, in stark contrast to the way MMM posts (stating assumptions, deliberate problem solving laying out the data and then calculating a solution for all to see), you use a click-bait worthy title in which you claim this thread will explain "HOW" you paid off your mortgage. Your post then, in no apparent logical fashion, with no actual numbers, lists several items (some of which, like selling extra unused items, could probably bring in a substantial amount of side income depending on how much junk you had previously), others completely inane (i.e. - give me an actual number for the total amount of change you found under counters/vending machines/sofas - is it greater than 100$? I doubt it).
As stated several times - everyone is proud of you for paying off your mortgage - I think a lot of people want their time back from your inability or reticence to actually explain how you did it and from reading your abysmal grammar.
