I want to say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for steps 1 through 6. You have helped me tremendously. I do think it's okay to tell us what the experts say about the next few steps because you are one of my favorite pf blogs. I really like the way you write (even if you do need a better proof reader!) because you are very natural in your tone and as a middle-aged financial mess, I relate to your lifestyle. Also, thanks very much for your budget spreadsheet. I've been using it since you introduced it and I like it very much. Well! I want to say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for steps 1 through 6.

I made decisions based on risk and peace of mine. I am also a huge advocate of not being in debt. So that plays into my decisioning process as well. Thanks for stopping by, hope you stay a while! @PFR – You’ll find if you read this site, I don’t always make decisions on the numbers. I made decisions based on risk and peace of mine.

With mortgage rates still at 40 year lows, I don't see the benefit to paying it off early, except for the piece of mind. If one cannot make more than 7% on other investment options, there is something wrong! Just food for thought. This is good stuff, however I think I will challenge you on step number 8.

Just finished the last book over the weekend...my favorite thus far. I've read all of them at least twice. Harry Potter rocks. Just finished the last book over the weekend…my favorite thus far.

But anyone that references Harry Potter is a friend for life. I would rearrange or do simultaneously some of your later steps. But anyone that references Harry Potter is a friend for life.

However, I am not sure if I can wait 30 years to read Step 8. ;-) Personally, I don't think you have to wait until you get to the destination to write about something. If you have been on the journey long enough and you learnt a lot, you can legitimately share your experience. Just my 2 cents. I really admire your integrity.

Not really frustrated as much as don't like having to re-arrange my plans :-) I agree it was the right choice and will provide more benefit to my readers in the long term. @paidtwice – Thanks makes me feel better others are making a similar decision.
