We all know having a mortgage is a neccessity of home-ownership, but that doesn't mean it's fun to pay! (Especially as it acrues interest over the years.) Many of us dream of paying off our home sooner rather than later but it's difficult to fiscally make that a reality.
I ran across this amazing story about a couple who paid off their morgage in 7 years. Yes, that's right, seven. I hope you find it as inspiring as I did!
