In this episode I talk with financial planning expert Stuart Wemyss to tackle a pressing question: Should we focus on repaying our home or investing? With his extensive experience, Stuart sheds light on this common financial quandary.

We dive into the emotional aspects of owning a home, as well as how it can be your greatest investment…. But preferably not your only investment.  

Stuart offers insights into some of the important considerations for where your extra dollars should go and the potential steps to take to repay your home later if you do decide to invest first. 

Challenge your current mindset and see if your current approach makes sense.

Let's go inside!
