Owning a home is still the American dream for many. But few can make it happen without borrowing, since not many of us have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting around.
Once you have that home loan, should you pay it off early? This week, we’re going to dive into that debate, as well as offer some tips to murder that mortgage as fast as possible.
As usual, co-hosts Stacy Johnson and Miranda Marquit are joined by producer Aaron Freeman. Today’s special guest is Andy Hill, founder of the website Marriage, Kids and Money.
Remember, even though we sometimes talk about specific investments on this show, don’t take them as recommendations because they’re not. Before investing in anything, do your own research, and make your own decisions.

What are the benefits of paying off your mortgage early?
Being able to pay off your mortgage early can provide peace of mind and generally offer you a way to save interest. But it’s not always the right move. Maybe you want to stick with the home loan and use the money for other things.
Tips for paying off your mortgage early
While you don’t have to pay off your mortgage early to be successful, if you decide it’s the right move for you, you’ll want some tips on how to do it. In our podcast episode, we offer information about how you can pay down your mortgage. And Aaron schools us in proper terminology.
