Or you could invest the money you'd like to pay if off with now.

Keep in mind that with the Tax benefits of interest, your effective rate is closer to 3%

If you can beat 3% investing, invest now

Right, I was saying instead of putting, let's say $500 a month directly to the principle I'd put it in a mutual fund for next 6-10 years. Once that account reached remaining principle I'd pay off mortgage then start investing the $500 + Old Mortgage payment into another mutual fund (Or something similar).

I'm not very keen on investing so I'm sure there's plenty of holes to punch in this plan.
