Default Re: How To Pay Off Your House In 3 Years

I would love my husband to be able to do what he did.. but here in england they tax you by 40% of his gross pay. plus a further 8% for national insurance(medical insurance which is mandatory). So my husband and I felt that working that much was not worth the havoc on our life. Having said that the guy was in a great position and something all young people starting out should read. If me and my husband didn't have my elderly in laws to take care of.. shop for,, and our 2 little babies.. then it would make alot of sense to work a bit extra and save up as much as possible.

Gosh his wife must have been very lonely without her husband around..
