Paying off the mortgage was one of the most liberating decisions I have made.
Suddenly any threat to the roof over ones head disappears. You have an asset that can later be turned into cash if you need to. Even with only a basic level of income the ability to carry on relatively warm and well fed is no longer under threat through job loss, ill health etc etc.
Why anyone would buy a new car in preference to clearing the mortgage is beyond me unless you have a terminal disease!
