I have mine paid off! A lot of people got hurt thinking a lot of leverage would make them wealthy. In 2009 when my account collapsed I took out a second on my home and eliminated all margin. It took a huge amount of fear out of living. Over subsequent years I paid off my house and never had margin again. I will use it a bit when I know I'm getting dividends that will soon put me back to cash - but not much. I had $7.00 and change interest expense this last year. Took plenty of hard knocks to get conservative at last. <smile> Bob
