I had more than enough paid time off available for this trip due to being able to use flex time for other obligations.

Paying off one’s mortgage can be an exciting time for homeowners. Not only is the homeowner relieved of the burden of their monthly mortgage payments, but they are also finally able to proclaim that the property is owned free and clear.
