## Resource

Want to slash your mortgage interest and shave years off your loan? You might be missing a simple, powerful move: overpaying your mortgage. Most lenders let you add 10–20% extra annually without penalty—small monthly boosts like $50 can add up to thousands saved. But before you dive in, check for early repayment fees and ensure you’ve got a solid emergency fund. If you’ve got higher-interest debts or uncertain finances, this might not be the best move. And while paying down your mortgage offers a guaranteed return equal to your interest rate, other investments like pensions or ISAs might outperform it—especially for higher earners. Talk to a financial advisor to find what’s right for you.
