[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 767601, member: 60724"] Gavin, Sure paying all debts and investing is better than just investing, all things being equal. But rarely are all things equal. For example, said: and you asked: Clearly people should save. But the fundamental question comes down to one of RETURN. We have blurred the discussion on this tangent with terms like "saving", "investing" and "earning", etc. But the fundamental issue at hand is one of ROI (return on investment). If someone has a couple of hundred extra dollars each month during the life of their mortgage then they need to determine if using that money each month to pay down their mortgage gives them the best ROI (that is the scenario) Most financial people when given that scenario believe there are better investments with higher ROI than paying down the mortgage.
