"I have seen many people who are in their 50′s who struggle to make their mortgage payments and have told me, 'If only I had paid off my house when I was younger.' That has some power to it. Income doesn’t always stay the same or increase. It is entirely possible that at any point numerous factors could cause our income to drop substantially. While I am having good years it makes sense to reduce my risk for future years."
