Thanks for the advice guys.

I just have a hard time wrapping my head around paying 170% of the loan I took out

luckily we were able to put a giant down payment from the last house we bought/sold (got lucky and bought after the recession bottomed out)

I have calculated the tax deduction, but generally come out ~1-2k above the standard deduction

It would just be awesome to be mortgage free

but like pointed out, we have a low rate and that variable interest scares the hell out of me
