21. Should I pay off my mortgage first, or invest?

“I want to invest in the stock market, but I’m still paying off my mortgage. Should I pay it off in full before I begin, or should I get started investing as soon as possible?”Sound familiar? If it does, you’re not alone. It’s a common (and perfectly understandable) question for first-time shares investors. And as you may have already guessed, there’s no universally right or wrong answer. Even so, by understanding all the factors at play, you can make the most informed choice for your situation.That’s why, in this Get Rich Slow Club ep, Natasha Etschmann (Tash Invests) and Ana Kresina (Head of Product & Community at Pearler) explore the “mortgage vs invest” topic in-depth.
