Case Study - Norton Family

I recently asked customers of Let Your Mortgage Make You Rich! to share any new, creative ways to pay down a mortgage (to add to a book called 12 Ways….). Peggy Norton of Michigan wrote…

Hmmmm, creative ways to pay down the mortgage…why do I immediately have visions of fat bank officers with their necks in my hands and a pen in theirs ready to sign paid in full on my loan?

That's a fun picture, Peggy. When I quickly read it the first time, I thought you were sticking a Bic pen through their necks! (Hey, they've done tracheotomies that way on television!) OK, so you're just forcing them to mark your mortgage note PAID IN FULL. It looks like you're going to have your wish much sooner than you thought when you first bought your home.

Here's what Peggy wrote back:

Here is a picture of me…smiling for joy…We are going to get that thar mortgage paid off sooner than later!!!

Lest there be any confusion over her message, she even labeled the above photo she sent, "Peggy Norton big grin I am paying down my mortgage faster YEA!.jpg."

Yeah, Peggy! As my mother used to say, "You tell 'em, Sweet smell 'em!"
