Rough estimate, about €150,000 are still outstanding, I have only been paying it off since October 2015.
So these are all just fantasies of mine, I am not married and don’t have a child. These are all just considerations.
But that would then be the problem that arises here, even if it drifts off-topic here and there.
Just imagine, someone moves in with you... because it’s simply easier, you continue to pay the installment for the house and even increase the repayment because your girlfriend takes over the household expenses from her salary. Let’s assume, roughly and by the rule of thumb, you both pay about the same percentage for the shared life (rent/repayment, food/drinks/household), also in relation to your incomes, only that you put money into the house, she feeds and cleans for you daily.
Simplified now:
After 10 years you break up. She moves out. You come out of this time well-nourished with about 10 kilos more and you have even been able to pay off your house because you didn’t have to pay a penny for beer and bread.
She leaves empty-handed and without anything she saved on. She invested her money into daily life. But she had rent-free living.
If she hadn’t met you and instead of rent had invested in a small condominium herself, she would also have saved for retirement.
Therefore, it would be an unfair naive calculation.
This example doesn’t even involve children or marriage, it is just a very simple scenario, as is often lived.
