Paying your mortgage off early is a good thing – right? Well, that depends. It depends on you, and on what you want out of life.
Because managing your debts – and that includes big debts like your mortgage or small debts like hire purchases – is only the first part of your overall financial plan.
A financial plan doesn’t have to be complicated, but to ensure you’re making the most of your income, it’s a good idea to get advice.
A financial adviser can help you identify and prioritise your financial goals. They'll ensure your plan includes ways to grow your money through savings and investments, so you can aim for short-term goals, like saving for a holiday, or long-term goals, like an early retirement.
Your plan should also protect you against financial setbacks – in case you lose your ability to earn, or something happens to the things that you can’t afford to easily replace, like your house or car.
It can be a lot to think about – but you needn't do it alone. A good financial adviser will help you clarify what you want, when you want it, and how you'd prefer to go about it. Including making sure your mortgage doesn’t take over your life.
