Well that depends on your mortgage payment and what you're doing for a living, if you have enough money to keep paying your mortgage without using the money then continue with your path, but if you need the money to pay off your mortgage then do it but you never want to completely pay off your mortgage because of the taxes will destroy you. My blind suggestion is to WISELY invest the money on either a great idea (and not all of it) or something solid because $100,000 dollars isn't much but can be worked with, also speak to a financial adviser but think for yourself

P.S. I'm a big fan of commercial real estate or 6 family homes for example
