Eh, I’m just of the old school ideology where you want to have as little “debt” as possible. Also, there is that opportunity cost of having to make that mortgage payment each month. With that (just making up a number) $1,800/month, you could invest that in moderate growth stocks and use that mortgage money to make you more money. Or, if you were extrememly risk averse, you could put that money into a high yield savings account and get paid interest for just parking that money.
To each his own. I can understand your logic as well.
