Over on the Mr.Money Mustache boards the debate rages about paying off a mortgage. I am not even sure there is debate allowed anymore since it has been decreed that paying off a low interest mortgage, when you can invest that money for higher returns, is for chumps.
Me, I always considered a mortgage to be my master, so I didnt want one. Dont care how much being mortgage free costs me. It is an emotional decision abput freedom.
In 30 years of marriage we have not paid a dime in interest, it is cash for everything.
