Date: February 24th, 2026 2:21 PM Author: Canary headpube it's a risk averse move to put more money into your house than you have to instead of in the stock market, but there is nothing wrong with being risk averse if that is your position and you sleep better at night that way, you need to do what is right for you personally, while I have a relatively high-risk investment approach, I also really really hate having debt, so I never leave credit card balances unpaid and have often paid the maximum amount on mortgages - some people may call that internally inconsistent, but I don't care, it keeps me happy and so that's what I do |

thus, taking a bigger loan means you're paying unnecessarily costs. |

FWIW, financial "experts" really hate PMI - but i did the math when I bought a house and it was like an extra $70 a month to just put 5% down - so investing that extra $100,000 was a clear winner at a 3% rate.
Probably not the case now but goes to show how the conventional wisdom is usually not from people who've done any actual analysis. |
