I have had this debate with others and was wondering what folks on this site think about this. Do you think it's best to pay off your mortgage as quickly as possible or should you invest the money now for future growth? I know it's nice to live in a paid for home but in my opinion you're only making a banker rich when you send them extra money.
My logic for this is that a mortgage is a very low interest rate (nowadays!), long term, tax deductible loan that can't begin to match what you can potentially earn in the market with wise investing. Why pay a bank when you can pay yourself?
I have about 30k left on my mortgage and I could pay it off today but see no reason to do so when I can buy funds with that money that will grow exponentially when this market fully recovers.
I'm curious about the other side of this discussion. Are you paying your mortgage off as quickly as you can or are you holding back a bit and investing for the future? I know this isn't a new discussion but I believe it's an important topic so roll your eyes if you think it's worn out but please reply anyway
