Will you ever finish paying your mortgage off?
Or do you expect to be paying monthly payments till you die?

I don't have a mortgage but my students loans add up to about the same as an average mortgage and yes, I think, I'll die in debt.

If you avoid the pitfalls of credit cards and have a good interest rate definitely. I paid mine off 2 years ago.


Joebagodonuts
Yes I will pay it off.


Carmela
Well, we just got a 15 year fixed one and I'm 24 so yeah, it'll be paid off long before I die.


chicken2008
Yes it depends on how long I live. If I don't live to pay it off and my mother out lives me she will or if not that my daughter will.

I know with mortgages it seems like you're indebted for life. Until recently with the economy lacking, it has become buyers market. What this means at least for now is houses will sell at lower prices, hence the amount of equity lessens. (because if you needed to sell your house now, the buyer will pay less.)
The first years of your money paid to your lender is mostly interest. So if you can double your payments on a 30 yr loan, you can pay it off in 10yrs. If you can't afford that like most , just pay as much extra as you can afford. It will make a make a noticeable impact on the time it takes to pay off your mortgage, also earns you more equity.
When I bought my first house I had no idea how much interest the lender charges. People look at it in terms of percentage, rates.
The amount spread out over, lets say a 30 yr loan @ just 6% interest on a 25, 000 home. You will be paying over $250, 000.00 in just interest alone. (Thats all on the low end %rate, and how many houses can you buy for 25, 000. I just wanted to give an example.)
Thanks for letting me ramble on. Most who have purchased homes should already know this. i'm hoping to enlighten those who don't have a clue. =)
