Very true I am taking the opposite bet. I refinanced last year 30 year 2.85 apr. In California so prop 13 means property taxes won't go up to fast. I have no plans to pay it off earlier. But we are kinda stuck we can sell our house for a nice profit on what I paid 5 years ago. Then I have to pay for another house that is expensive in the current marketing. Not really looking to relocate to cheaper place. So I am just hoping all the money I am putting in the stock market ends up being the right call. Who knows though. Either approach could be a good choice in the right situation.

Yeah that is a great way to go if you're comfortable taking on the risk. There is a big reward if it pays off.

I'm a bit more risk adverse but each person has a level of risk that works for them.
