You are willingly paying extra money to prepay a loan at that low a rate? Once you take the loss of tax deduction and inflation into account, that is about a zero return on investment. You are literally locking up money for 20+ years for no return at all.

Back when rates were higher this made more sense but not now.

Yeah no matter what we do it'll be a 15year. The house is the only debt we have (and will stay that way) and with a 1yr old and planning for #2 our goal is to be out of the house when they finish high school.

Thanks for the tips
