With that said...

If you're not going to be here in 30 years.. or if you sell to move to another home. best to not pay it off as the bond follows the house not the owner.

I personally am staying in this home (no exceptions)
But if you pay it off , you save 6% interest and your home will be more competitive when you sell it! As a recent buyer, I only looked at homes with the bond Paid Off!
