Pay Off the Mortgage or Save for Retirement?
Having money set aside for retirement can be a huge relief. But as you near retirement, you’ll inevitably start to see the benefits of losing your monthly mortgage payment. If you have extra money to put toward retirement savings, the decision to pay off a mortgage or invest your money can be a tough one.
Often the choice of whether to pay off house or invest comes down to your own individual circumstances. The number of years until retirement, how much you owe, and whether you plan to move in the future all factor in.
LONGEVITY TIP OF THE DAY
Sit less — “Sitting is bad, standing is good,” so consider a standing desk while you work, read, or do daily tasks on the computer. Standing while you work is one of the best things you can do for your posture, which in turn increases your likelihood to be more active in the future.
SLANG WORD OF THE DAY
Word: Go Off
Definition: A phrase said to encourage someone to continue, usually when they're ranting about something (can also be sarcastic, as in, "but go off, I guess")
Used in a Sentence: “She couldn’t stop yelling at him for ditching her on their date night, and I was all for having her go off because he deserved it.”

That’s a frequently fraught undertaking for anybody, but Jacqueline, who became disabled at age 14 due to chronic illness, found the experience particularly discouraging.
“My self-confidence was down the drain to be honest,” the now- 29-year-old shared with Nice News, explaining that she faced rude questions and comments, and had several matches ghost her at the first mention of her disability.
