Paying off your own home?

[Scott Schuetz]

I've recently left my long term real job. I'm now working full time as a realtor and investor. I've got my living expenses pretty low, but still trying to get used to the idea of not having a steady stream of paycheck income. I owe about $100k on my residence. P&I is $525 with about $350 going to interest and $175 to principle. I can pay off my home, but that takes up most of my investing reserves. I know I could probably use that money to earn more money but I keep coming back to the idea of paying off my home. Has anyone paid off their home just to feel more mentally secure?
