You Too Have The Power To Live Mortgage Free!

By: Eddie Lamb

Of course it's not compulsory to live in a tent or some converted school bus to be able to save on mortgage loans or to be able to live free of mortgage. Regrettably, this is the mistake many make in an attempt to prevent paying mortgage.

The truth is this -- it's possible for anyone to still enjoy a home and pay the mortgage without pains.

I bet at this point you will be asking -- but how can anyone successfully pay off their entire mortgage and still have funds for the family's uptake? The naysayers are wrong -- it's indeed possible and easy to achieve.

No one cares whether you have the funds to pay or not, if you have already committed yourself to purchase a home, you should continue to pay your mortgage loans. If you think all it takes to achieve this difficult task is just to put in thousands of dollars monthly, you got it all wrong. On the other hand, if you, as a homeowner, plans carefully, does some adjustment in your budget, and are determined, you can easily pay off your mortgage debt.

Have you ever been told that you can pay off your mortgage within just 5 to 10 years? Are you thinking this is a joke?

None, all it will take is for you to sacrifice to achieve this.

Still wondering how you can achieve this seemingly impossible task?

One of the first things you should do is resist the temptation to spend all your tax refunds each year on unnecessary expenses. Instead of this, put the money aside each year for repaying your mortgage loans. It amazes people to learn that they can pay off tens of thousands of dollars off their mortgage in years by a monthly commitment of extra $50 to $100 dollars.

For example, a smart move is to take a fishing trip that's closer to home rather than one that's far on the other side of the United States. Instead of spending so much money traveling to Hawaii each year for your anniversary, pick a place closer so that you can save the extra.

Ladies shouldn't continue to spend so much money on pedicures and manicures and those expensive monthly spa treatments; they should do these themselves instead, and save the extra money. For golf loving guys out there, I hate to say this but if you reduce your golfing to once a month instead of weekly, this will help you save some extras for putting aside to paying off your mortgage.

If you desire to shave off 6 whopping years from your mortgage payment years, get into the habit of paying hundreds of dollars extra all the time. To make your savings greater, just pay a little extra money anytime you have it. I can't imagine anyone missing such opportunity?

Don't tell me your income is too low because it shouldn't stop you from saving extra $10 to $25 monthly from the amount you spend on beer, cigarette, lunch or other irrelevant expenses at Wal-Mart or Target. If you want to be mortgage debt free faster, talk to your lender to increase your payments. It's possible to return to the amount you were previously paying, if you get stuck with paying this new increase.

It's a good way to use money if you put aside your tax refund for repaying your mortgage. Don't listen to those that say you should spend money from your main account; instead, open a new account for the purpose of extra unnecessary spending. Not at all, no one is saying you should suddenly start living like a monk to pay off your mortgage early; what I'm saying is that the extra savings you will succeed in getting can help you pay off your mortgage in good time and after that you can resume on what you had to give up on. Reduce the time you spend on entertainment. Reduce the time you go out from weekly to monthly.

It's advisable to live in moderation so that you can have the extra money to put in for your mortgage loans. Just do the math now to find this out. Tell me the person that won't want to save tens or even hundreds of dollars during the course of their mortgage?

Far from it -- selling your life is not what will enable you to own a home. You can pay off your entire mortgage loan within 5 to 10 years if you consistently follow a budget and take charge of your spending habits.
