Mortgage Free at 23

Jack Stevens knows just how short life is. He was only a teenager when his father sadly passed away from cancer at the young and unfair age of just 58. It was a tough time in his life and all the more painful by the fact his father had been working hard to build a large property portfolio – one that would have provided him with a comfortable retirement. Also like his father, the 23-year-old primary school teacher is a hard worker. Impressively, Jack already owns his own property in the Melbourne suburb of Geelong West outright. The two-bedroom cottage was purchased for $365,000 a couple of years ago, using the inheritance and a big chunk of savings. In just 24 months, Jack paid off the rest of the loan and is now sitting on a large equity nest.
