This podcast is about building a better life through GRIT. Here, I talk about how I was able to get out of poverty and create a purpose-driven life, even though I had very little starting out. My posts are unedited, and meant to serve as a lessons learned on how to get ahead. Surely, I will slip up, and you may see opinions/tactics change overtime. Which is a common occurrence from a *thinking individual navigating a complex world.

Keep the mortgage for the tax deduction or pay it off?
Let’s assume that you make $60,000 a year and you have a $10,000 tax write-off from your mortgage interest home loan, that means you pay taxes on $50,000. If you don’t have a mortgage, you would have to pay taxes on your full income of $60,000. Since you’re in a 25% tax bracket. Twenty-five percent of $10,000 is $2,500. Your tax bill just went up by $2,500 because you don’t have a mortgage. However, you are no longer wasting $10,000 on mortgage interest! Your tax bill went up by $2,500, but you saved $10,000. Which means you have a net savings of $7,500. That is, a savings of $7,500 every year. Shown on the chart pasted below, you can easily convert this savings of $7,500 into almost a million dollars by investing it in an index fund. Again, details in the original post.
