Great content, three comments:
- in the USA mortgage interest on the main home is tax deductible, reducing the net mortgage rate paid
- capital gains on investments are taxed, reducing the net rate gained
So the net spread is lower from both sides between invest vs pay down the mortgage.
Finally, this begs for a simulation on the investment side and different asset allocations between cash / bonds / stocks
Great content. I am all about diversification. I will overpay my mortgage and I plan to pay it off a few years early, but I don't want to only focus on that. For me the most important thing is being able to be flexible so that if something happens down the road, not all of my money is tied up in my pension or my house.
Great explanation James, very interesting. Years ago I was persuaded by James McIntosh and his short view that the 60:40 portfolio could deliver all the returns you need and help you sleep better. I haven't lost that faith despite the losses of 2022.
