When you look back on your life and stack up all of your chips into retirement, is that $1,800 going to matter much in your net worth?

As in what is going to matter more to you - an extra $1,800 or waking up knowing that each morning, that dirt under your feet is yours and yours alone and that you're no longer making payments on anything (except to Uncle Sam)

That's just annual savings, in terms of present value (assuming he goest through the whole loan this way) it's about $10,000 in savings. PV of $800 payments a month for 11 ish years at 4.61% compared to $95000 on the loan.
