I'm with Ramsey on the car note.

House notes (at least up to deductibility limits) are a different animal though. Lower home loan rates plus tax deductibility significantly shift the argument toward not paying off the loan.

If you could borrow at 4% on a car loan and invest and earn 8% in the market, why would you not take advantage of that spread?

The math has changed a lot with tax reform and continued low interest rates. This isn't the slam dunk it once was.
