Merry Christmas, and thanks for the quick responses guys. To answer some of your questions, the mortgage is my only debt, I have no credit card debt or car payment. (I paid 3k for my DD back in '08, and it gets me to work just as well as a new car, lol.) I plan on living in this house for life as well. I do have a Roth IRA already, but I've been slacking on putting money in it on a consistent basis. Vegas you make a good point about career flexibility. The way I look at that, is if the sh*t hits the fan at work, and I end up having to move out of town to find work, it's better to have my place paid off, rather than having to scramble to sell,and subsequently taking a loss.
Long story short, I'll start putting a good chunk into my Roth every month, and maybe shoot for 8 or 9 years to pay the house off rather than 6.
