Should You Pay Off Your Mortgage? The Surprising Truth

It’s the classic retirement question: Should you pay off your house? In this lively episode, Catherine, Steve, Rachel, and Greg unpack why this isn’t such a simple decision — and why the “peace of mind” that comes from being mortgage-free might come at a big financial cost.

From low-interest-rate mortgages that can actually work in your favor, to the hidden downsides of tying up all your money in real estate, the team shares real-life client stories and eye-opening advice. Learn how a house can be a hedge against inflation, why liquidity matters, and how to avoid the trap of thinking “my home is my retirement plan.”

If you’ve ever wondered whether doubling up on payments or raiding your 401(k) to pay off the house is a smart move, this episode is for you. Tune in for thoughtful, entertaining, and sometimes contrarian insights that just might change the way you think about your biggest asset.

If you want to understand what's going on in the economy, get better insight into the financial markets, and separate the sound from the noise so you can make good financial decisions, tune in now!
