I paid off my mortgage by the age of 36 by practising careful money management. Before buying a house, I invested my modest earnings for maximum growth. This meant I had to live carefully, spend little, and make my money count for as much as possible.

Rather than spending my money first and saving what was left, I saved first and only spent on absolute essentials.

I invested my savings wisely, for growth. I watched my savings grow threefold and more — until I had a big deposit for a house. That’s how I got on the housing ladder. Then I continued to live carefully until I’d paid off my mortgage at the age of 36.
