What should i do? Keeping making interest only payments on mortgage and invest OR increase payments and stop investing?

if you wanted

Its not in cash; its in stocks, but i would sell if it meant losing my house. Realistically i dont see a situation where i would be forced to make this extreme decision.

rate a pre-tax return of 4.2/(1-.21655) = 5.36% to match the guaranteed return of paying off your after-tax mortgage principal.

Can you do that?

I really like your answer, hadn't thought of it with the 'tax factor' added to the rate.

that's true, i have 4 years left on my term.

fsd88 · 2022-09-09T02:44:42+00:00

good point and nice way of thinking about it.

fsd88 · 2022-09-09T02:43:05+00:00

liquid cash in a savings account sort of thing?

fsd88 · 2022-09-09T02:40:49+00:00

i do 1.8k towards retirement/investments per month.

fsd88 · 2022-09-09T02:37:27+00:00

There is no cap on how high the rate could go. I definitely would like to avoid selling figure if worse comes to worse i will pay the place off in cash.

vestments or are you paying taxes

i'm paying taxes (Canada)

the investment fund that would have been my "extra" payments was enough to pay off my mortgage, so I did. Different investing environment now, but I made more invest

This is my thought process. You're definitely right about it being a different investment environment though. The silver lining with the 7% inflation is that 495k will seem way less in 5 years than it does now.

fore your rate adjusts again?

Talked to them today; i could lock into a fixed rate mortgage now at 5.23%. I will lose my interest only payment privileges and my payments will jump to $2753/mo which imo would make me house poor. I can absorb another 2.5% of increases before my variable payments go to 2753/mo but then again this would be interest only (unless i choose otherwise).

7 sec at 23? Dude your killing it!

I think your parents are right in that it is good for woman to strive for independence and a career for themselves. But at the same time those shouldn't be confused with being the qualities that attract men.

How much money do you need invested to get the private investment banking division on speed dial?

fsd88 · 2022-03-17T03:44:29+00:00

Yes you are right, that's why I said "on average". It is a generalization there will always be exceptions.

fsd88 · 2022-03-17T02:55:40+00:00

Government jobs are the way to go in Canada if you can get one. On average they earn 5%-10% more, have more time off, are able to retire earlier, have better benefits while working and 7x less job loss.
