I was still working at 60, trying to restore the savings Equitable Life lost for me.

We are still paying a mortgage and DH is still working. We are in our early 70s.
For many years we had an interest only mortgage. It was the worst decision DH ever made.

I've a friend with a mortgage. She, too, would love to be done.

No solution, she moved home again in her 50s. Silly for her.

Obviously a lovely long weekend off, but back to work on Tuesday. At 60 I feel I should be retired but I’ve got a mortgage until I’m 65. I could downsize but I really don’t want to as I love my home.
No real point to this thread but just interested if anyone else is in similar circumstances?
