My mom owns her house outright, she has no bills and has a couple incomes. She has money in bank. She lives her life the way she wants and is pretty happy. I love when I visit her and she shows me pictures from her latest trip she took!

If the interest were higher, then the tax return would be better, but it's not, so we are paying it off. I'm hoping to pay off a second property before I retire so we can have the first one as an income property and live very comfortable!

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
