It pained me having to have a mortgage of £11,500 and had it paid back early at 50.
The only borrowing in my life.
+1 paid ours off at 50.
I managed to pay mine off at 47, courtesy of a generous redundancy payout.
The earlier the better, with 3 youngsters going through University concurrently it helped a lot especially as two of them were four year jobs.
