Owning a home is still the American Dream for many. But few can make it happen without borrowing, since not many of us have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting around.

Once you have that home loan, should you pay it off early? This week, we're going to dive into that debate, as well as offering some tips to pay murder that mortgage as fast as possible.

As usual, co-hosts Stacy Johnson and Miranda Marquit are joined by producer Aaron Freeman. Today's special guest is Andy Hill, founder of the website Marriage, Kids and Money.
