Mortgage vs ETF Investing — Where should extra Income Go?
Looking for some perspectives from the community. If someone has a mortgage with an variable interest rate around 3–4% and also has extra monthly income available, what is generally the better financial decision: - Put the extra money toward paying down the mortgage faster, or - Invest the extra money into ETFs for long-term growth? On one hand, paying down the mortgage offers a guaranteed 3–4% return (risk-free). On the other hand, investing in diversified ETFs (like XEQT, VFV, etc.) could potentially generate higher long-term returns. From a purely financial perspective, how would you approach this decision? Would you prioritize: - Guaranteed 3–4% return (mortgage payoff), or - Potential 8%+ long-term market returns (ETF investing)? Would love to hear how others think about this and what strategy you personally follow.

i agree with you paid off mortgage is one less worry, But if you think for long term, my mortgage is at 3.5% (variable-hope it wont go up), but market gives you roughly 9-10% which means i would lose around 6%. But at the same time paying off mortgage is guaranteed money. Its a dilemma😆. To be exact with numbers: I try to save 25% > invest 15% and saving 10% but now instead if saving 10%, i was confused if i should add it to Mortgage or invest whole 25%. 🤔🤔

@Peter Eckstein Thanks for suggestion Peter.
HDIV
Hey Guys, When should someone with a relatively small portfolio (e.g., under $10K) start investing in HDIV for monthly income? My thinking is that with a smaller portfolio, the income generated from HDIV would be minimal, so it may make more sense to focus on growth ETFs like XEQT or VFV in the early stages. However, if it still makes sense to include HDIV at this stage, what percentage of the overall portfolio would be reasonable to allocate toward it? Thanks

@Mark Choi Thanks for your input Mark. I am 30, I think i have time, i can invest for 30 yrs in value ETFs. But want monthly income as well😆. I just started investing biweekly few months back, very new to this world. Feels like i should have started few years ago but never too late to start, right?
