I paid off my mortgage. I don't have the time or energy to watch markets and shit like that and I don't really care about earning money (I need it, sure, but like, so long as I can do what I want it's just a hassle managing it).
What I appreciate now is not having a chunk of cash disappearing every month and my place is my place. Maybe I could've invested and made more money and paid it off but then what if I had done that? My money would've be invested in shares or some bollocks when Covid hit and how much would I have lost?
Mine are all up 30% or something - largely because there’s loads of free money sloshing around and people with nothing better to spend it on than dick around with shares and whatnot.
Also: managing your own affairs > working for some bunch of dicks
I kinda like my job and I very much dislike staring at share prices. Whatever floats your boat I guess. But then I did get into bitcoin years ago so maybe I'm just a fucking genius investor?
