This is fabulous advice!
You are young enough and have time to build up equity, do not be in a hurry to get the mortgage paid. Enjoy having the tax benefits and a secure place to raise your upcoming children, for they pop up when you LEAST expect them
Keep as much personal funding as you can for emergent expenses. You are most fortunate in having this kind of money available - use it wisely and you won't be caught off guard.
All the best for your future!
