I paid off my house and i dont regret it one bit. I feel at peace and sleep better.

I doubt he has less money than her. It'd be crazy to tell her she's behind if he has less money.

In 1998 I invested money into the market with a subpar broker instead of paying off my house and spent the next several years regretting it, all because in theory the market return at that time was a few points higher than my interest rate. Sadly the market didn't cooperate.

Dave expects the market to beat your interest rate too. Otherwise he wouldn't have you invest 15% before paying off the house. I think if you have 20+ years left on the mortgage, it's a pretty sure bet to invest. And with lots of 3% mortgages, it only skews things even further in favor of investing
