Excellent information here, Zach. A lot of it boils down to ability to invest lump sums. Since we run things pretty tight here in our household, the only option is to DCA. Main reason? We’re using any extra income to pay down our mortgage in lump sums. Similar theory – avoiding extra interest by hacking away more principal earlier in the pay down.
