Should You Pay Off Your Mortgage or Invest Instead?

If you’re sitting on a mortgage with a 2–5% interest rate, this is a question worth asking.

In this video, Nick breaks down the key trade-offs between paying it off early vs putting that money to work in the market — and how to decide what’s best for your situation.

We’ll cover:

• When paying it off does make sense

• Why investing might win... if you can follow through

• The mindset and math behind the decision

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But there is a way to think about it clearly

It’s easy to feel stuck with money. It's harder to have clarity and a plan you trust. If that feels like something you've been missing, let's talk about it.
