Are you really smart about repaying your mortgage early? Bank employees tell you: Many people are still "giving away money for nothing"!
Have you ever thought that prepaying your mortgage could be the "stupidest" decision you've ever made? Listening to the analysis of the bank staff may make you understand whether you are smart or confused in repaying the mortgage early.
First of all, you have to understand that banks are not charities. They don't lend you money to get you to pay it back early. Banks earn interest on their mortgages, which is an important source of income for them. Therefore, when you repay the mortgage in advance, the bank will charge a liquidated damages! It's like if you go to the store to return the loan, the store will definitely not give you a full refund, and you will have to deduct a handling fee.
Besides, if you pay off your mortgage early, you're actually losing a sum of future interest income. Imagine if you invested money that would otherwise be used to pay off your mortgage, such as buying stocks, funds, or starting a small business, you might be able to earn even more. In this way, you not only pay off the mortgage early, but also make an extra amount of extra money, isn't it a double win?
Of course, there are benefits to paying off your mortgage early. For example, if you have a spare amount of money in hand and you can't use it in your hand, it is better to pay off the mortgage in advance to reduce your burden. After all, the money owed to the bank is always unsteady. But you have to understand that by doing so, you are actually giving the money to the bank for nothing, allowing them to earn an extra amount of interest.
Therefore, the decision to pay off the mortgage in advance is really not so simple to explain. You have to think about it according to your actual situation. If you have better investment channels or have more spare money on hand, you can consider paying off your mortgage early, and if you don't have a better investment plan or are tight, it is better to repay your mortgage on time.
Finally, I would like to remind you that before making any decision, you must consider many aspects and do not blindly follow the trend. After all, everyone's situation is different, and what suits someone else may not necessarily be right for you. Only you know your own situation best, so be cautious when making decisions.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone: whatever decision you make, you are responsible for your own choices. Remember this saying: smart people know how to use resources to create value, while foolish people will only waste resources in vain. I hope we can all become the ones who know how to use resources to create value.
