    I paid off the mortgage on my Bay Area home in February this year (2022). Now looking at all the economic turmoil that could be ahead, I feel incredible knowing I have a place to live locked in regardless of what happens. I sold a big chunk of my Robinhood portfolio in order to pay off the home. Lucky for me I sold before the market started to slide in March. What luck! Great video

    The best feeling ever is paying off the mortgage. The worst feeling is seeing your investments drop in price. I havent looked at my investments for 3 months. I would overpay on your morgage just to bring debt down

    Another thought provoking video Andy. I am on the road to turning my finances around. I am 38 and my wife and I and 3 kids live as expats. Unfortunately we have nothing in retirement at the moment but I really want to pay our house and small personal loan off before really getting into investing. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for your continued ideas on turning finances around.

      I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel!
      Mortgage freedom is a beautiful thing. I just want to make sure everyone had their retirement set as well.
      That personal loan sounds like a great place to start 💪

    If at coast fire, makes total sense to pay mortgage and stop retirement contribution. If not, I'd sugfest not and focus on building retirement account

    I don’t recommend to do coast fire, I recommend contribution reduction
    Example if you were doing 25% to do 15% and everything else to pay off your primary home mortgage why?
    If we have a lost decade now with a market crash and zero money in contributions during this time, this could kill your portfolio instead of having DCA a small percentage during this time and benefitting from the next bull run after it.
    The government calculator doesn’t take this into account so be careful 😢

    Over the last 24 hours I've geeked out on Coast FI. At 48 y/o... I think I might be there. You're videos have helped so much and is the math I've been looking for. However, after seeing a bunch of Coast FIRE vids, why is the magic age not 59 1/2? Letting the retirement accounts compound until 59 1/2.... and calculating from there?
    Just curious. Thanks for the great channel.

    • @MarriageKidsandMoney

      Great question!
      Honestly, it's so the retirement account balances are larger. The reality is ... the more time you have in the market, the more money you'll have.
      So if you shorten that window by 5.5 years then you won't have as much.
      BUT if you can make your Coast FIRE calculations work with 59.5, then go for it! You win the game :)
