Top tip for people facing death by stoning; your brain copes quite well with impacts from the front or back, but if you're hit on the side of the head you're likely to lose consciousness as the two halves of your brain split apart from the sideways motion. Hence, try to turn your head to face the stoners side on!And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

I stand corrected

I know its better to enjoy life while you have your youth and stuff, and while your kids are young, but on balance, I think paying off your debts early is the way to go.
when I was about your age, i knocked up a little spreadsheet with a few scenarios. When I saw the difference in overall spendies, it was a no brainer.

Crissy,
it's all about assets, and your gaff and those motors are not assets.
I won't elaborate, you can do your own research.

I've taken the view that it's better to pay things off sooner in the hope of a more relaxed lifestyle later.
Clearly I'm not in Sasguru's league but I'm 42 with £25k left on my mortgage, albeit on a modest 3 bedroom house. My investments are diversified.
When the opportunity has arisen I've travelled; as some of my elders have advised, that can get problematic with age. It's a question of striking the right balance.Comment

Where's the "Keep paying the mortgage normally, don't spend all your cash on having a good time and build up some assets with a view to becoming financially free" option?
Oh it's not a poll
And I see AP already brought up the Kiyosaki thing..
That's what I'm doing.. Mortgage payments are currently about £220/month on an £80k loan - I'll put my surplus cash into the markets and property until I don't have to work - then pay it off in a few chunks. Whilst having a good time as well
I see so many people who earn less than me driving around in shiny BMWs (they don't own) looking down on my crappy 10 year old Honda - they need to play Cashflow 101"Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment
