How secure is your job? Are you self-employed, do you have confidence that your career will hold up over time?
This may be something to consider when thinking about prepaying your mortgage or sticking with investing for your retirement.
My job is not 100% secure and the industry that i work in is also notoriously unstable - for me having the peace of mind of having my house paid for - makes a lot of sense
Although...instead of paying off my house sooner, what if the money meant to pay off my house was invested and then used as an "emergency fund" to help my family out if i ever did lose my job and had a hard time finding work...
