It is a very smart move to pay down your mortgage.  Putting extra money toward your principal can save thousands in interest.  Additionally, you will have equity available should you need it in the future for unforeseen emergencies.  Instead of putting money into a saving account, consider putting that amount into your loan.  And remember, paying down debt will reduce your stress level.
