Want to be mortgage-free before you retire?
Then we need to talk about the whole “just make extra payments” thing.
Throwing random extra money at your mortgage isn’t a strategy, it’s wishful thinking with a payment schedule.
Most people do this:
Paycheque → Chequing → Bills → Mortgage.
A cashflow-first setup simply flips the order: Paycheque → Mortgage → Bills.
Same income. Same bills. Very different outcome.
When your income hits the mortgage balance first, the balance drops immediately.
Lower balance = less interest charged (daily, not magically).
Anything left after expenses stays against the mortgage balance AND accessible (because this isn’t a “never enjoy your life again” plan).
No tricks. Just using your money in a smarter order.
Mortgage math is boring.
Paying it off years earlier is not.
