Yes.  It was so weird for me when I paid off my mortgage and stopped having
to put 80% of my takehome pay into it.  All of a sudden I got to a point
where I could just buy anything I wanted in the grocery store and I didn't
have to keep lists as I went shopping to make sure I stayed under my weekly
grocery budget.  It was sort of "so this is what it's like being wealthy."
