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.

Talk to a financial advisor to find what’s right for you.
