Amen on that. We could pay off our small mortgage but investments yield more than the interest rate. Oh, and there is a tax deduction for mortgage interest, though that may not help everyone. However, some people feel more secure with a paid off mortgage. Everyone needs to make their own decisions. It's not a one size fits all.
