Should You Prepay the Mortgage: Rate, Use of Money and Liquidity

Prepaying the mortgage depends on the loan rate versus the steady return your money could earn, whether you have higher-interest debt, and whether prepayment strains your cash flow. If spare money earns clearly less than the mortgage interest and there is no high-interest debt or big expense, partial prepayment can make sense; otherwise liquidity matters more. Follow the loan contract and bank rules; this is not investment advice.

Compare the loan rate with returns, higher-interest debt and cash-flow pressure, and follow the contract and bank.
