false economy in my opinion,,,,,,,pay more in interest than you save on real taxes,,,,,,
retirement is abou managing all apsects of income to manage costs - to include taxes - only withdraw what you need, and if you have a paid off house you don't need the income to pay for it and thus don't pay taxes on income you don't need,,,,,,
if it's a government income (state or federal retirement) you don't (or at least didn't up to this year - haven't checked that yet) pay state taxes on it,,,,,,,,if your withdrawing from a retirement account, manage that withdrawal to minimize tax implications,,,,,,,
and if it's SO dang much that you are forced to take,,,,then give it to a good charity,,,,,
but having a house payment for the tax benefits is false economy, ,,,,,,,,,,,,
but then I'm not a tax lawyer,,,,,,,
very true....
bunch of people look at it wrong when it comes to that.
they will do anything to justify making payments on something that they can't really pay for.
