Likely that either we will split it 1/2 - 1/2 to our respective Roths. Or Hubster could be generous w/his portion and we could go 3/4 to mine and 1/4 to his??? We are trying to boost the amounts in my accounts as I'm the non-working spouse and need to do some catch-up.

Or we might put it to the mortgage. I know, I know. Not the best financial decision, but it makes me happy slashing that mortgage the closer we move to retirement.

Even though it won't be spent at the local mall it does help the economy. Those stocks & mutual funds and such are continuing to invest in businesses throughout the US and the world. If we go w/paying on the mortgage - the mortgage banker is just going to take our dollars and loan them to someone else. It likely isn't just going to sit growing moss!
