Hard call though as paying off a house sooner sounds nice too.

Maybe one can likely earn a higher return by investing, but it's not guaranteed. Paying off a mortgage is a 100 percent return on your loan rate, and it's guaranteed as a long-term return since it lowers your debt over the life of the loan. It also helps to guarantee that you'll never end up homeless, which brings significant psychic benefit, and it diversifies your wealth.

You obviously want to have some liquid savings, and you want to maximize your IRA, but the mortgage comes after that.

We have 50% equity on the house so the mortgage payment is super low now. Paying $100-200 extra a month wouldn’t hurt us and helps in the long run I think. I already max my ROTH IRA. Good points.

Good on ya dude. Sounds like you really can't go wrong.

If I were you, I'd sock it away separately and see if you can get a different investment going. Maybe it's a side hustle, or a house to rent or something. Even if you just start a taxable investment account, I bet you can beat 2.5%.

But if you put money against the mortgage it'll pay it off faster, and unless you move, once it's paid off, that's material money you then get to keep.

Sounds like you're well on your way to an early retirement!

Good luck and keep the pedal to the metal!

Depends on a lot of factors. You’re current lifestyle, cost of living in your area and a big one people miss, estimated healthcare needs as you age.

I like your point too about investing extra cash. That’s normally my thinking too.

Sure would be easier if the wife would get a job! Has a single ****ing kid 2.5 years ago and claims to be a homemaker now!

That house better be spit shine clean, she better have dinner on the table and your slippers and pipe ready with a drink in her hand for you when you walk in the door.

And on Friday nights she better be wearing the French Maid outfit she just cleaned the house in to make sure you can relax properly after a long week of work providing for the family.

I considered it, but it always seemed awkward to ask them out while they were palpating me.

NKLA dropping like a rock in pre-market. Down to $20 and CEO stepping down.

Holy shit if this really is fraud that may kill the stock.

The CEO said they had proprietary battery technology among other new tech. The fund that called them out said they didn't. Now it's been revealed that they're using an outside battery source.
