OK, where should I start hm? OK Boomergirl, when you have something to ask that has NOTHING to do with the CURRENT TOPIC you go to the bottom of the page and click on the words NEW TOPIC.
Now to the topic at hand. I believe the person who posed the original question to be of modest means and I think my original response was fairly accurate. Yes muscles59, if you have a hefty income mortgage interest is a good deduction on an investment which will most likely increase. If someone has a paid house they can always get an equity loan or reverse mtg. We are Californians and have huge equity in our home (even in this market) and after all these years I can't wait to be mortgage free. So i can spend my bucks on life in retirement instead of supporting the bottom line of the bank. :hot: :hot: :beer2: :2cool:
