Rachel Cruze is one of the few famous financial experts who doesnt agree with this thinking.
And actually, her father, fellow financial expert Dave Ramsey, doesnt either.
They both passionately argue the importance of paying off your mortgage ASAP.
Why does Cruze, in particular, believe you should pay off your house early?
But theres a flaw in it that Cruze sums up perfectly in her reply.
The answer is usually no.
It doesnt feel good to carry it around or to be held responsible for it.
We may fantasize about the day weve paid off our mortgage.

To just have it all taken care of and behind you?
It would be a real kind of freedom.
There is something about peace of mind, Cruze said.
When you dont owe anyone anything.
