All right.

Can we talk about paying down our mortgages versus investing?

Recovering Dave Ramsey person here.

I'm buying a home after selling a home from 10 years ago.

It is quadrupled in equity.

My new mortgage payments will be about $450 a month.

Oh my God, that sounds so nice.

Sorry.

We're fifty dollars a month.

I'm not sure where this person lives, but oh I kind of wish I lived there.

My new mortgage payments will be about $450 a month over 25 years, which is unbelievable.

Yes, it is.

Okay, I've done the math over 25 years with my current savings, plus my new yearly savings, which is cutting out the commute and the equity built in my sold home, minus the mortgage interest I would pay over 25 years.

It was still a projected difference of $300,000.

versus paying off my home in five years, which would be less mortgage interest paid, but also less money in long-term investments.

So in case you're wondering with all of that, basically she's asking, again, do I pay down my mortgage quicker or do I invest?

She says, Does anyone else feel a weird emotional pull to pay off your mortgage ASAP, even when you've crunched the numbers?

I hope all of this makes sense.

So many thoughts flying around in my head right now.

I would absolutely love Tori to talk about this on a podcast.
