    Ramsey folks trash talking a financial advisor simply because he/she doesn't conform to "muh baybee steps". Then, hard sells their own "smartvestor pro" financial advisors, of which, Ramsey gets paid an advertising fee. She did right by questioning her financial advisor, but then went straight to a multi-level marketing firm for advice.
    If you go to a financial advisor and they do not first say "let's run some numbers", run away. If they cannot provide you with several options and clearly explain to you the advantages and disadvantages of each, run away. There may be nonfinancial reasons you choose one course of action over another. Perhaps paying off the house is the correct decision for this caller, perhaps not. It's your money, guard it accordingly.

    Did the advisor ask, "What are your goals?" And if so, did the caller answer, "Maximize returns." If it went that way, that's what the advisor did. Maybe if that happened and the caller had answered, "Feeling secure and happy" the result would have been different. Conclusion: don't fire the advisor without more information.
    You know, Dave prioritizes the secure and happy answer because of his own trauma. Not everyone has taken foolish risks. And maybe some people (though not me) have more risk tolerance.

To assume he’s doing it out of greed is kind of asinine. Like yes he can do this, but it’s very likely that the rate of return on the investments will supersede the interest expense. And just bc that doesn’t agree with the “Ramsey” way doesn’t make him a fraud lol.

Paying extra on a mortgage bit by bit without paying it off leaves that risk on the table. I won't pay extra on a mortgage until I have enough to pay it off entirely, or unless I'm refinancing to get a lower monthly payment.

    1:23 Where does patient safety fit into this equation? I think nurses should have mandatory rest, like truck drivers.

Twelve hours is a marathon, and they should be resting and handling their homes and personal lives on the other days. It’s not unusual for them to have two jobs, though. A tired nurse makes mistakes and is grumpy. This affects patients, families, and co-workers. It’s greed.

    I made a spreadsheet and charted out net worth vs time. Over time, comparing equal dollars applied towards mortgage vs investing in S&P modelling 8 percent return, your net worth will be higher for the first portion of the total amortization period if you pay off your home. Doesn't matter what your mortgage rate is. At some point (the intersection point on the chart varies depending on how much extra dollars you utilize, rate, etc), investing from the start will help you realize a higher net worth in the long run. After 25 year mortgage, the benefit of investing early vs paying off mortgage is only marginal, and is more useful if you stay in that mortgage the whole time. Most people will change primary residence 2 or 3 times in 25-30 years. Since your net worth is higher in the first 10-15 years by paying your mortgage down, this is the way to go. And it's less risk - hard to put a price on peace of mind. Just pay the damn thing down. I used to be hesitant to think paying down a low interest debt made sense but the numbers don't lie.

      Some people just don't like debt....it doesn't matter where you can put your money for a better return than the interest savings on a mortgage....it's called peace of mind. I make at least 3 principal payments a month, because I am only 10 years away from retirement, and I don't want an active mortgage when I retire. I am 55 and got a late start because of a divorce and massive child support payments, but I am making up for that in quick time.....everyones situation is different, and when some 25 year old internet financial 'advisor' tries to tell me I am not doing it right by shoveling money at my mortgage, I just ask them if they would be comfortable retiring with a mortgage over their head.

    Anyone can run the math and make sense out of paying off the mortgage or investing in the market. Both arguments are logical and correct in many ways. Regardless of what your position is, it's a personal decision. I can tell you, having paid off my home in January, that there is a "peace" I feel knowing this house is mine. I moved out of my parents home when I was 19 and have always paid someone something to live somewhere. I'm 50 now and it feels great that I don't have to make these payments anymore. Best wishes to everyone making this difficult decision. God bless.

    The thing these guys never ask is how far into the loan are you? In the early years, you are paying more interest than principle. Over time you are paying more principle than interest. Once you get to that point, you need to analyze how much you can actually save by paying off the loan. You might be better off investing if the interest is negligible compared to returns you could get using your cash for other things.

    why not both invest and pay off the house? if you have over 160k in liquid cash, you could be earning yield on a bank cd or bond. then what you do is take out a credit card and buy other assets like gold and silver that you can sell for cash to put towards the house. its basically like refinancing with credit cards, all you have to make sure to do is keep an eye on your net interest margin so that you dont end up paying interest on the credit card. it would work best if you have some time left on the mortgage to potentially save 2-3x the cost of the metals in mortgage interest over the life of the loan. you can even save 10% of the metals asset to "hedge" against a dropping home value and its basically the same as investing since you are waiting to sell at a higher price with the opportunity cost of saving 10% less interest each time you repeat the cycle. its better than giving up 60% of your capital to pay off a liability like the house and not being able to start investing because of budget constraints like an emergency fund. you already paid most of the interest on the house if you have a few years left on the loan so if you pay it off without saving interest youre just flushing your own money down the toilet.
    any investment opportunities should have a minimum return of at least your weighted average cost of capital which should be really low if you have a ton of money earning the risk free rate compared to the credit card rates.

    God I hate this advice. Dave Ramsey got himself into trouble because he over leveled himself by taking out too many loans including the one on his home. A low interest mortgage is not bad if you can invest in the market earning 10%. You get the tax benefits on the mortgage interest and some states give a property tax discount when you have a mortgage. Plus, typically homes increase in value and you are paying back the loan with dollars that are worth less than the day you took out the mortgage.

      That's what I'm currently on the fence about. But to play devils advocate if in 5 years let's say you pay the house off early you now can put your mortgage payment into that 10% investment, in theory it will catch up and quickly surpass what you would've earned in interest if you invested instead of paid extra towards the principle balance of the mortgage?

    • @av8rgrip
      @av8rgrip 2 месяца назад

      @@sganglingI’m not a math wiz, but if you are dealing with a 3% loan you will come out ahead by investing rather than paying off the mortgage. When you get into higher mortgage rates then you have more to think about. Paying off the mortgage is a guaranteed return on your money of 3%. Investing in an S&P index fund could net you 7%. The future growth of investments is never guaranteed even if you wait to pay off your mortgage. Throughout the history of the S&P it is a fairly safe bet that you will average 10%. The cutoff of paying off vs investing gets more complicated the higher your mortgage rate is as there are many moving parts and assumptions you have to make that may or may not come true. For example, let’s say that over the next 5 years the return on the S&P is 5%, well that would be more of a wash. But, if it was 15%, then you would have missed out on that compounded growth. I have part of my investments in a large cap stock fund that has had 30% gains 4 of the last 5 years. One of those years it was down 30% due to Covid.

    My only thing is I don't like putting extra towards the mortgage every month because it feels like chipping away at a boulder. And also you don't have any liquidity doing that. I realize that's why you build the emergency fund first but I guess I'm extra paranoid.
    Is there any reason not to just save up the whole balance in a high interest account or investment account and then pay it all off at once? If it's close to your mortgage APR why not? That's what I did with my student loads. Just saved up the money to pay one off entirely one at a time.

    • @megalodon1726
      @megalodon1726 Год назад +1

      That's what I'm going to do; invest extra money until I have enough to pay off the mortgage entirely, then pay it off in one lump sum. Paying a little extra month by month doesn't help much, because as long as you still owe anything on the house, you're at risk of losing the house to the bank via short sale or foreclosure, and you'd also lose the extra money you paid on the mortgage. In the caller's case, she already has enough in the bank to pay off the mortgage completely, and that's what she should do.

      'Is there any reason not to just save up the whole balance in a high interest account or investment account and then pay it all off at once?'
      Yes, there is a very good reason not to do that, and to throw all your money at the mortgage, because in the first 20 years of a 30 year mortgage, more of your payment goes to interest, so if you make extra payments at the start of your mortgage, you knock off more interest dollars than you would by making extra payments at the end of your loan.
      Example: at the start of my loan, the portion of my payment that went to principal was only $155, and the portion of the payment that went interest was $420....so I made an extra principal payment that month of $155, that knocked off $420 of interest that I would never have to pay. At the end of the loan (25 years into the mortgage) the principal portion is higher at $420 and the interest payment portion is lower at $155, so when you make an extra payment ($420) in the last years of the mortgage loan, you are only saving $155 in interest....that is why they tell you to make your extra payments at the start of your loan. I have already saved $38k in interest by making extra payments.
