Ask HTM – Butting Heads with Investing Gurus, 4% Mortgage Ripoff, & Hoarding Cash at Retirement #1150

We’re kicking off the week by answering your listener questions!

Regardless of how random or bizarre you might think it is, we want to hear it!

1 - JL Collins: Do you guys agree with the same investing principles in The Simple Path to Wealth?

2 - Mortgage ripoff: Even though I have a 4% mortgage, why am I paying closer to 45% in interest?!

3 - Cash or stocks: Since we’re nearing retirement, should we refill our cash holdings or go all in on investing instead?

4 - Extra income: Help us figure out what we should be doing with more income than we know what to do with!
