      At age 55, by the numbers, she *is* behind where somebody at that age should be. However, she still has a job, it just isn't paying much right now. It should be a concern, but *not* a reason to panic. If she were to give up on working altogether, *then* her numbers would be an issue (although as others have pointed out, we don't know the value of her house, and downsizing and moving to a cheap state/neighborhood could possibly even get her by for the rest of her life; we just don't have that information). At any rate, her situation is 3.6 Roentgen: not great, but not terrible.

      Consider reallocating from real estate to other reliable investments like stock, crypto or precious metals .

Not financial advice, but it may be wise to invest, as cash isn't ideal in this period.

      In order to break even with the returns on investments vs paying interest on the mortgage, one has to get an even higher return from the investments due to taxes.
      Paying off the house is a guarantee savings. Investing doesn't guarantee and has downside risk. One should choose what to do based on risk tolerance.

      Not really. The comments here seem to be emotion based focusing on attacking the financial advisor as opposed to looking at her entire financial situation. Yes, his delivery of her actions may have been off putting according to her, but his observations were spot on. She mentioned her interest rate was low so she could have paid off a portion of the house and invested the remainder in a roth IRA and brokerage account, or downsized by selling the house and purchasing a smaller home or condo for cash and invest the remainder as indicated above. Some people interpret any advise as an attack. Focus on the goal and be objective.

      ​@30-Year_Accountant at her age, you shouldn't have a mortgage. Even The Money Guys would absolutely have her pay off the home. As for downsizing this could be possible depending on the size of her home. But because she's 55, her home should be paid off no matter what being that close to retirement. That's just overall sound advice.

He can't know them all personally. Does his staff do extensive research to determine this? I get the feeling that they apply to be a "Smartvestor" and he determines that they are good guys by the way they answer a questionnaire. They answer it the way they know Dave wants them to answer it and then they pay to be on his Smartvestor list, where they get clients. There's nothing wrong with them paying to be on the list , as long as Dave is judging them accurately. But he's never told us how he makes the determination.

I NEVER want my wife sitting around wondering/crying unsure if she'll have a roof over her head. This woman did the right thing. She doesn't have to worry about losing the house because the market slowed down or she got sick and she can't make the mortgage payment. She no longer has a mortgage payment so that money can now be put to work to build wealth and if that all goes wrong, so what. The roof over her head is secure.

    That guy wishes she still had the cash so he could invest it and charge 1% annually.

    What's not addressed on this call (unless I missed it) was, What was her mortgage rate? Nobody should attempt judging her without knowing what her rate was and how the markets were doing at the time. It's possible her "advisor" knew something we don't. Regardless, she's not "behind". Being behind is a relative term. She's way ahead of most!

    To be fair, some people “feel stupid” when faced with the truth. Often not the fault of the messenger.

    Emotion is the worst enemy of sound financial decisions. If your financial advisor makes you emotional he's failing.

    Of Dave, the caller, and the unseen "financial guy" I'd bet decent money at even odds that the finance guy has the highest IQ of the group. Yet he's not on the line so they team up and call him an idiot.

    I mean I get it… if the mortgage is below 3.5 percent I rather invest in index found then pay off a debt that accrues less interest than inflation

    I don’t understand why ppl say a million is not enough. Forget the interest. Even if you withdraw the principal every month for twenty years, that equates to 50,000 per year for twenty years. So, a 65 year old can easily make it to 85. This is not even counting social security. Most ppl don’t make past 85 anyway.

    Anxiety does wreak havoc on your confidence, couple that with lack of sleep and you just get lost in the fog.
    I would say to this lady; get your sleep, get your exercise, (so good for the mental as well), plan a budget and keep to it, go bargain-hunting and practice self-care. In other words, be good to yourself and the rest will follow.
    Oh, and the housing market will pick up too, it always does.

    she’s panicking because she’s never worked a day in her life. She has no life skills and no chance at making any money herself.

    I see where the financial advisor is coming from, taking money from high yield to pay off really cheap debt is not mathematically dumb, it's just philosophically dumb if you subscribe to a different philosophy (which I do, I love being debt free, but I don't need to pretend the math does not exist to be happy with the philosophy I chose)

    Sorry for your loss, Christine. Congratulations to you for paying off her house! Fire that investment guy. Find someone who knows what they are doing and that you feel more comfortable with. My life mantra is budget, save, and invest. And make sure you put a "fun" line item in your budget. Once you get the hang of managing this on your own you will sleep like a baby.
