This is a YouTube video titled "Now I've just about paid it off - I'll be able to have a lovely Christmas!" containing a conversation recorded in December 2015. The dialogue features Scott Parry discussing his financial progress, specifically paying off his mortgage and preparing for retirement, with another speaker engaging him in the discussion.
Came from part time, probably earning about 13 grand, I think it was. And then we've built it up to now I've just about paid it off. I've got about two grand. How exciting. Yay.
Two grand left on your mortgage.
Yes, two grand left on my mortgage.
So you're gonna be debt free over the next 30 to 60 days?
Yes, I'll be able to have a lovely Christmas. I'll be able to spend some money for once.
Yeah, for sure.
But, yeah, it's been a good journey. I mean, I've been able to spend and also paid off on my house.
For sure.
It's been good. And I have a life and put my son through college.
It's been great school.
Yes.
And so how's retirement looking now?
Fantastic. I can't wait. I'm already in retirement mode. Really, I am. If they say to me I can retire tomorrow, my hand's gone up.
Yeah. Good on you. And because you can, you know, you're debt free, you don't have a mortgage to worry about. When you don't have a mortgage to worry about, you've got choices.
