Who is getting your paid off house that you sacrificed to prepay the mortgage?
Your ex-wife, the nursing home, your current wife's pool boy........?
My next door neighbor moved in about 20 years ago with wife and 2 kids. Wife lasted about 5 years and in another 5 years the house got transferred to a son. Son was married and had a kid. Now the police have been out front a few times and the son's wife seems to have control of the house and the son and father have not been seen for a few years.
