A financial adviser gives her views on whether it is a good idea to retire the mortgage before it's due and enjoy a debt-free retirement. If the mortgage interest is very low and does not allow itemizing the deductions, and the investments are earning less than the cost of the loans, then it is better to pay off the mortgage.
