  • In this example you will save 145,000 dollars in interest. Unless you're starting with a large sum of money, the money invested won't exceed the interest saved from paying the mortgage off early. Also, paying extra will help a person become accustomed to spending less money each month once the mortgage is paid off. Mortgage paid sooner = more debt free years to save for retirement WITHOUT the risk you would have in the stock market. Paying a mortgage off early is a safe bet!

  • You got a point the advantages of investing. However, it still depends on the market conditions.

  • Live in your moms basement and save money. 

  • worthless video and worthless advice

    THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOOD DEBT, DEBT MAKES U AN ENDENTURED SERVANT !!!

  • : 1.21 kind of like yourself granddad.

  • Not a bad video, but it depends on the way you look at the current market conditions. If u invest now, you are investing in stocks/etc at a much cheaper price since the market is down, but most are scared of the potential for a market crash or huge loss. So be mindful of all aspects of investing vs. paying down a mortgage.
