you think buying a house and having it paid off at an early age would be a bad financial move?
Having a mortgage gives you a big tax deduction. Not paying off your house early = more money to invest in stocks and business ventures (TJ's restaurant) If you play your cards right, you'll earn more money that way instead of dumping your cash into a house. It wouldn't necessarily be a "bad" financial move to pay off at an early age, but it wouldn't be an efficient one either.
paying off your house early leaves you with a lot more money each month to put into those investments. i don't get your argument
But you won't be able to begin investing until your home is paid off that way.
If you have 2K a month that you could either invest that or pay your debt, and your investments make more than the interesting accruing on your debt, then they are more financially beneficial. It can be a calculated risk.
As mentioned, nothing wrong with paying it off.
