The "$2000 0% APR mattress loan" is useful because $167/ month is much easier to budget for and doesn't require a huge hit to savings.
One of these is just sane budging, the other is minmax gambling.

Now explain why it's good to have a mortgage at all? Don't just say "because a couple hundred a month is a small number". That's not a reason, it's just a single, incredibly subjective and situational factoid. Is there a logical or mathematical reason not to increase the amount of my mortgage as long as I can easily afford the monthly payment?
