So you have 190k outside of retirement accounts and an otherwise paid off house? If you paid the LOC today and paid yourself, how fast could you replenish? Even then, the LOC interest is higher than any savings interest. I'd still pay it off with that.
So 2 years and you are back to where you were with a paid off LOC today. Plus you still have the option to tap the LOC if absolutely needed while saving on the interest paid. I'd pay it off.
Just use your MMA and savings account to pay off your LIC. Any revolving LOC is crazy to keep in this high inflationary economy. Once you have ended your debt your options will open up immediately to save and invest more aggressively for other endeavors like your retirement accounts.
Variable rate loans are not good in this economic climate. Just pay it off so you can have more cash for your monthly budget. Depending on what state you live in, you'll need it for increasing food and energy costs.
