…most people VASTLY over estimate their investment abilities. Most people I know think they are stock gurus and in an upmarket like now they think they are Warren Buffett Jr.! (A few years ago….um not so much).

ER,
Most people on this board should be savvy enough to be able to get a return of 3% annually on their investments, no?[/quote]
Where are you getting the 3%? Yes, if the MR is at 3% i would not prepay. If I’m not subject to AMT yearly I would likely not repay.
Neither is the reality. Thus the prepayment.[/quote]
Using your example. A return of 3%/year (or there about) should double your pay-off amount in the 22-year period that you mentioned.
