Your debts become smaller over time due to inflation. Don’t touch those 2-3% fixed mortgages until the last minute.

Had planned on paying off mort before retiring but at 2.3%, we may keep it & invest extra elsewhere.

Smart. Your mortgage balance literally shrinks in value the longer it’s drawn out. Can be a powerful instrument.

Likewise. I’m at 2.25% and retire in 11 years. Was going to really try to pay

Can still pay mort w/ just pension but might need to use a bit of 401 for a mission.
