Would you take out a mortgage today just to keep more cash in the bank? Glenn Johnson tackles one of retirement's biggest questions: whether paying off your home is the right move before leaving the workforce. He explores why credit card and auto debt often take priority, how low mortgage rates can complicate the decision, and the risks of chasing returns instead of reducing liabilities. The conversation also covers liquidity, taxes, cash flow, lessons from the 2008 financial crisis, and why the emotional side of being mortgage-free matters just as much as the math.

Tune into Glenn on Saturdays on WXLM from 12–1 p.m. and WJJF from 7:30–8 a.m. for more insights that go beyond the balance sheet.
