Fuck having to do math or worrying about investment returns. I'd just rather not deal with the debt.

Yeah - we were single-income for most of the 00's and IIRC, a bit of the teens. Started paying extra once both of us were working and whenever they kids didn't need skis or soccer registrations, or whatever the fuck else kids gobble up money with.
This is kinda where I'm at. I figure once *all* the debt is gone, shit will just work out, since we'll have GOBS of $$ rolling around. Because fuck math.
Ironically - middle kid just hit us up for $$$$$$$$ to do a class on "African Ecology" this summer - which appears to happen IN Africa.

We've gone from 3.875 down to 2.5%. It's not gonna get better than that, so I'm expecting to hold that indefinitely. Given fixed loans are an inflation hedge and I am confident that over the 30yr term of the loan even a moderate portfolio will return 6-7%, I have no reason to pay it off.
Why don't you want me to be happy?Knife fund -> 529 plan
your wife won't be when she finds all your knives.
Won't be the first time I've disappointed her, and it surely won't be the last.
maybe you shouldn't compulsively be buying things she could stab you with
I just hope she remembers to wash and dry it after. I'd hate for one of my good carbon steel knives to get all rusty.
This past few days have been like
Hmmm, that sounds familiar. Oh yeah, I’ve said stuff like that. Relationship impaired and perpetually single.
A bit ironic considering your occupation.
We at the Ridemonkey collective love you.
Not sure I will ever pay off my mortgage. Rather keep my money liquid plus we have huge amount of equity already.
Nah, not ironic at all. I’ve dealt with hundreds of couples, every imaginable type, over the past 27 years. Sometimes they confuse me for a relationship counselor.A bit ironic considering your occupation.

It’s kind of like loving pizza until you make a few thousand in a frantic restaurant kitchen. Even though it’s pizza and it’s always awesome, it just loses it’s appeal.
not anymore
Thats both understandable and sad.
BTW, as a relationship counselor, what's it mean when she says she wants to try pegging? That kinda like crocheting? Asking for a friend.

I‘m okay with it.
Currently making a wedding set for an old friend whom I am quite happy for. His fiancée seems really cool. Couples like them I like working with.
Spoiled primadonnas that get flown to Paris, proposed to on top of the Eiffel Tower with his grandmother’s diamond set in a one of my rings and has the audacity to decline the ring and have me disassemble it so she can have it made to her liking by a mall jeweler, I do not care for.
... Ever, straight cash homieOh, hell no. Ain't had a car payment since around 2007.
ETA: I guess it'd be similarly accurate to say I've never had a new car...

Yeah - the 3 years of car payments was... irritating.
Hey I proposed to my wife on top of the Eiffel tower.
Did she complain about the height ? His sure did.
Do you get referral bonuses from the local divorce attorney?
WTF is there to complain about the height of the Eiffel Tower?
Ha no. My sister was working in Belgium at the time so we took a trip over to visit her.
I’m certain that one day I will have a storefront next to a divorce attorney or a marriage counselor.
“It was too tall, duh...stupid man...gah..,why can’t you understand me ? Hate you, of course I will marry you...xoxo...” -her probably
That sounds like a good story.
