Since I plan on paying off my mortgage quickly, I'd be able to get a good jump start for 5 years or so. Once I crunched the numbers, though, I wouldn't have saved enough money to justify the risk. I'll revisit the numbers again next year to see if there is something better around the corner. A few months ago, I actually considered refinancing my fixed rate loan into an ARM for the savings!
