Hi,
With Stock Market at all time highs, i have been thinking about selling some of my mutual funds/stocks to pay off the house early. I would sell only mutual funds/shares for which i would incur long-term capital gains tax.
I owe about 158K in the home. I need to raise about 80K from the stock market ( the remaining would come from my cash, currently have 90K).
I am 32 , married with a 4-month old baby; house-hold income 155k/yr (gross). Have about 300K in investments ( non-retirement + retirement). I would not touch the 401(K) portion for the investments, only non-retirement & roth ira.
What do you guys think ? After paying off the house, i would save $800/month in house payment.
