In addition not prepaying (low interest rate long term debt), don't buy low yielding long term bonds. Recently the dollar has been gaining a great deal of value quickly (except against the yen). And I think there is no sensible reason for this given the huge budget and trade deficits. This makes the potential for future declines worse (for someone that believes as I do) since there is a decline that has not happened that should have. Inflation starting to be a real issue about 6 months ago but it was only significant for a about a year before that (since 2001). I think more times like that year are to come over the next 10 years.

Otherwise, the debt payments represent the same percentage of your income and your spending power regardless of the value of the dollars being used. That's no help at all.
