do you a) pay off your home mortgage, dropping your payment from $1750 to $550 (taxes and insurance), or

b) continue to service the mortgage debt and try to reinvest the money?

terms of the mortgage are pretty good. 3.75% fixed 30 year.

explain your reasoning please

You avoid paying 3.5% interest. Most of your monthly payment is going to interest. I’d pay it off to avoid paying that ineterest. No guarantee your investment will generate an amount larger than what you’re paying in interest (needs to be more than 3.5% Bc of taxes, but should also account for losing whatever you’d get from mortgage interest deduction).

Your debt is cheap, historically speaking. You should be able to make more money over 30 years by investing it.

true. I can earn near that amount in a high yield bond fund right now so that would technically cancel the interest out.
