Sol Aristatel Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 A better question would be how many people own a property free and clear by paying it all themselves, not gifted or inherited. That might whittle it down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might whittle it down a bit. I own two properties free and clear in one of the hottest real estate markets in CanadaMy parents died when I was young and I received 6000 from the proceeds of our family homeWhich I spent on 2 years of university then I had to quit and work because I did not want to go in debt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAG Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 You will notice the majority of those (if not all) , self included, with no mortgage have no kids. It would be a much more difficult feat I would imagine, if you had kids. If I could do it over I would choose the kids I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not hard in theory. It is in practice. If you own your home free and clear and you are not retired and/or did not inherit it and/or are under 55 then you are in a small bank of people that are very fortunate.
