Last month, I paid off the mortgage for one of my homes.
It’s the first home I bought, and when I did so I was a part-time waitress right out of college. I got myself a few roommates and pinched every penny. Without knowing how it could ever happen, I made a goal to pay off the mortgage in ten years.
The day I signed the papers was Friday, January 13–just over nine years ago.
So, how did I make this happen? Well, I worked hard, of course–but even that couldn’t possibly have guaranteed such an outcome. I believe the biggest factor in this success is that I knew the house was the right one for me. It felt right buying it, and it felt right renting it out when I moved away. I loved the house then and still do, and each dollar I’ve put towards it was given with a sense of power, enjoyment and accomplishment.
If I had to sum it up in one word, I’d say the secret to this success story was gratitude.

Congrats, Molly. It’s great to see people building wealth at a young age 🙂
Thank you very much! That’s the goal. Always has been my intention to have a good retirement. Intentions are POWERFUL.
Sorry I have been absent so long. I marked this one to read awhile ago, but “things” (read that as “life”) simply got in the way.
Now, was the right time to read it. I needed a story to pump up myself with joy and success. Thank you for doing just that. You are a good friend even when you don’t know it.
