    It depends on your view of risk and it depends on the person. If you think you might ever need to claim some form of benefits then having a huge investment porfolio will cause you problems. They take a dim view on you cashing in your investments and paying off the mortgage to qualify.

    I have missed out on making money, but right now I'd rather just have no mortgage.

    That is an emotional decision, not necessarily a rational one.

    But hey, if you are happy, go for it.
