You've got a little extra cash coming in...do you invest it, or would it be smarter to pay extra on your mortgage? Let's find out: simple answers to complex questions: that's coming up on Money Talks.
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!
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.
