Mortgages are more of an investment in yourself. It's like paying rent to yourself. If the payments aren't killing you, it's not a problem to leave it.
Student loans on the other hand do tend to be more stifling. I found my life improved hugely when I finally paid those off.
Now, if you were to ask about whether to invest in RRSP's or pay down your mortgage .. I have some interesting life stories I could share about that one day over a beer or other beverage of choice, about that particular choice. Actually it's probably quite a huge rant. So um .. since you didn't ask about that one, I'll leave it for another day (and a beer. Don't forget the beer.)
