Listener Question: Should I Pay Off My Mortgage, Or Save For My Kids’ College Debts?

In this clip, Alison Southwick, Robert Brokamp, and Sean Gates answer a listener question about whether it’s better to pay off a mortgage debt or save for the nigh-inevitable tornado of college debt two kids will bring on.

Find out how to look at financial aid; why you might want to invest the mortgage money (and why you might not); a few ways that college debt might be a plus instead of a glaring red minus; and more.
