Come On Early Retirement!

So EVERY TIME I have an extra day off (or in this case, took off because of a medical procedure), it's so hard for me to get up and go to work and I always think - I NEED TO GET THIS HOUSE PAID OFF!

THAT is the goal.  Then I would be able to stay home.  The more I wait, the higher the monthly extra payment will need to be.  TIME TO CONCENTRATE!
