Oh, and welcome to the forum.


I have two very low rate mortgages... and I round them both up every month... for the very same reasons you state. I just don't like mortgages. But I also know that at the rates I'm paying (I borrow cash on cash)... it's just flat ass stupid to do what I'm doing.

As you all know I'm in a different "place" investment wise... and don't have any reason whatsoever to "save" any money... but I still just can't stand "owing".
