[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 767651, member: 60724"] P.S., Caymen.... There is an easy resolution to this meta-debate. You have hinted to it. You have said "best for me". I must admit that paying down your mortgage so that you own your home sooner may actually be best for you, for reasons related to your own personal comfort. These reasons and attitudes go back to ideals about ownership and debt, and the perceived security that ownership brings. They are essentially emotional and emotion-based ideals and reasons. If such are your reasons, then I don't intend to sway you. It would be insulting for me to try. If, however, your reasons have to do with wanting to maximize your money and towards making you better prepared for a future financial hardship then those are specific goals and can be discussed rather unemotionally. If those are your goals, then I've said all I can on the subject and I fear we may be confusing emotional desire with financial goals. TJR [/QUOTE]
