Should you use extra money to pay off your mortgage or invest it instead? Some financial experts argue that low mortgage rates make investing the better choice. Others believe there’s real value in becoming debt-free before retirement. I’m discussing the case for investing versus paying down your mortgage, why peace of mind matters just as much as the math, and the two-track strategy I believe can help you build wealth while reducing financial stress.

Should Your Investment Strategy Change in Your 50s?

Should your investment strategy change as retirement gets closer? For decades, many investors focus on growth. But as retirement moves from a distant goal to a reality on the horizon, the questions become more complicated. I’m discussing when it may make sense to shift from maximizing growth to preserving wealth, how late starters should approach retirement investing, and why two retirees with similar assets may choose completely different strategies.

Buying Stocks Is Easy, Selling Is The Hard Part

How do you know when it’s time to sell a stock? Most investors spend a lot of time thinking about what to buy, but far less time deciding when to sell. That can lead to missed opportunities, holding on too long, or selling for the wrong reasons. I’m discussing why knowing when to take profits is so difficult, why even professional investors struggle with it, and how having a clear strategy can help you avoid costly emotional decisions. To learn how to make smarter selling decisions, tune in.
