Know what you mean. In 1979 we sold our former home for cash which gave us a nice down payment for our present home and got a temporary mortgage from our bank as rates were high and they offered us a good rate at the time. Our CD's paid the mortgage until we got a permanent one and in 1989 we paid off our home. I believe in living below your means and it has surely been a benefit for us and we each have every thing we have ever wanted. It is very comfortable in our golden years being debt free and paying cash for our needs. We have major credit cards to maintain a good credit rating, but fully pay them off monthly. I watch those like a hawk because of identity theft being so prevalent now.

My husband is still in good health and loves his work and I doubt he will ever retire. Has been telling me he will for over eight years now and will have to see it to believe it. If he eventually does, I do not feel it will affect our lifestyle any from what it is now if I remain capable of overseeing it. We just hope to remain healthy after and that will be our goal then.
