30-Minute Thursday # 17 - Pay off Mortgage or Invest?

A very common question we receive as a wealth management firm is should you pay off your mortgage or invest in various financial vehicles. For many, the goal is to have no debt and a sufficient emergency fund along with adequate investments. Unfortunately, it's not always so cut and dry. Tune in for this week's episode as Michael Sears and Seth Morris discuss the pros and cons of both strategies - PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE AND INVESTING.

All investments are subject to risk including the potential loss of principal. No investment strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against loss in periods of declining values. Annuities are insurance products that may be subject to restrictions, surrender charges, holding periods, or early withdrawal fees which vary by carrier. Riders are generally optional and have an additional associated cost. Annuities are not bank or FDIC insured.
