I may still have a mortgage in 'retirement' (~10-15 years off, depending on multiple factors), and... depending on provable income, may not be able to get another one. While it's definitely a 'monthly debt' to pay off, it will likely not even be close to the cost of health insurance. Current lowest cost plan we got last year was $900/month for two people - that was $150 more than our mortgage. Mortgage/taxes/insurance were coming out around $1000. Even if I paid off the mortgage, property taxes and insurance would be ~$300/month. Health insurance is (for us) 3x that right now. Yes, it's insane.
