I agree. In 1980, I had a $35K mortgage with an interest rate of 7.75 percent, which was considered a bargain at the time. I couldn't sleep at night, so I paid it off in 3 years. I offered the bank a discounted cash payoff, but they refused. That is the only loan I have ever had. To me, borrowing money has never been a good financial decision.
