I also used my dryer

and took my boat for a spin around the lake to do wakesurfing buring 10 gallons of gas

drove my car 40 miles round trip to work.

ate ahi tuna for dinner.

and wait i'm still ahead of everyone who decided to make an extra mortgage payment ... wow!!! thats fantastic.

(i didnt hire a lawn mower - but the rest is true)

... maybe put a screen lock on your computer when that friend is over?

A bit baffled by all that--

in what sense are you "still ahead" of people who paid extra on their mortgage?

I'm glad for you and all; I just don't get what playing field you are winning on, if that's what you are celebrating.

Haven't we beaten this dead horse enough?
