Really it's hard to be in worse shape financially than I am, but even I should be able to stop working by the age of 67.

Dude, I'm 31 and I'll be far, far off from paying off my mortgage by the time I'm 35. Don't sweat it. There's others out there like you, too. Some people do pay off their mortgage really early (my brother in law did it when he was 27), and I have no idea how... but comparing yourself to others isn't really fair. Everyone has different paths, just live yours.
