Though one might seem to be "cashing in" on houses or whatever that now have higher dollar values attached than when purchased, one must also consider the hit they'll suffer when replacing whatever it is.
When I got married in 1970, we both worked for less than $2.50/hr--the SO at Flying Training at the Pentagon, and I at a funeral home as basically an apprentice. We paid off a car loan in one year and still had savings.
