.............."Don't you 
know your house is like a credit card?"  Or, "You 
lose the tax deduction!"  Somehow, spending say 
$600/month to get a tax deduction of $300/month, 
never quite made sense to me if you had the money 
to pay off the debt.  So, since the "conventional 
wisdom" is to stay in debt, it seems likely to me 
that the permaculture approach is to "get out of 
debt as quickly as possible".

Another good tax free investment is investing in 
energy conservation.
