At 2.5% you should be able to exceed that in a variety of investment options.

Emotionally finishing the note feels good, but number wise it makes sense to direct that to investments

Knocking off PMI could also be a good financial reason to pay a little extra.

Can you explain where you put money for the last six months and got a 2.5% return? I assume you have a ton in commodities if you are up. I know I wish I had paid extra on my note for the last seven months instead of losing 25% in 401k contributions and 18% in other investments. Such a categorical statement is not always accurate.

If I were closer to retirement I definitely would have wished I had put more toward paying even 2.5% mortgage v. investing it.
