Despite the excitement of making the final payment, the reality was that it limited their investment possibilities and did not significantly improve their quality of life. Initially advised by a financial expert to keep the mortgage and invest instead, the author wrestled with this decision but ultimately followed it, highlighting the importance of letting go of traditional beliefs about debt and embracing alternative paths to financial growth.
