One of the happiest days of my life was the one I paid the last mortgage payment of my house. 🤣 I hope your friend does good business and that he doesn't lack the job to meet the bank every month. 😌
I don't know... If you asked me 20 years ago about taking (and paying back) the loan, I would say exactly the same as you... To pay it ASAP and that's it... But lately, with this inflation, it looks like those who are taking big loans are doing the best... as they return pennies for the big money that they took before (while it was worth something)
