should you or shouldn't you?

I'm not saying you should accelerate your mortgage (per earlier discussion with Tony) just how to do it if you want to. A lot depends on your own situation and what your priorities are, how disciplined you are, risk tolerance, etc. But yes, it makes sense that you would invest the mortgage payment in an ETF (exchange-traded fund) to make 10% rather than pay off a mortgage loan with a 6% interest rate.
