Episode 074:

What Is Mortgage Planning and Why You Should Care

This is where I started my career as a Financial Educator eleven years ago. An expert in Mortgage Planning, which is using mortgages to create a better retirement, trained me personally over about a twelve-month period. The mortgage is the most powerful tool in retirement planning and personal finances. You will not believe what the mortgage can do to lower risk, increase, returns, increase retirement income, increase long-term care, take better care of a spouse if you pass away etc. This episode will introduce a series I’m doing on Mortgage Planning.

Included in this episode:

  • The extent of the mortgage planning most people hear others say is you should pay off your mortgage… this is not true!
  • Why do people hate mortgages so much?
    • Before the depression, we didn’t have 30-year fixed mortgages
    • The depression hurt the banks, it hurts people!
  • The rule changed, which changed everything!
    • The 30-year fixed mortgage
    • If paying interest is bad, then banks and insurance companies are doing everything wrong!
    • Banks exist to pay interest, they try to get INTO debt
    • They use arbitrage (borrow low, lend high!)
