Yep. Or Imagine losing your job and the HELOC gets called when the credit markets froze up. Course, maybe the Magic 8 ball would predict all of that too.

Borrow against your home to invest in the stock market =

As for the OP, I like his idea of going with a 15 year and paying it off in 5+/- years - mainly because he’s looking to retire within that time frame. Yeah, I wouldn’t pull from the retirement funds either, in his case.

You can laugh if you like.

But common sense knew that millionaires were going to quickly be made in 4 years after the stock market fell 30%.
