There’s also the intrinsic value of living life to the fullest now vs. the mindset of “when I’m 60 I’ll do XYZ.” “Fullest” does not mean financially stupid, but spending money to enjoy life and make memories can be a lot more satisfying and “worth it” than dumping tons of extra money into a low rate mortgage.
