    The Retirement Myth of Paying Off Your House

    For many Americans, paying off the mortgage is considered a major retirement milestone. But what if becoming mortgage-free isn't always the smartest financial decision? In this episode of Optimize Your Retirement, Daniel and Raz challenge some of the most common assumptions about retirement planning, including the belief that you need a specific account balance—or a paid-off home—to retire comfortably. They discuss the differences between "good debt" and "bad debt," how home equity can be used strategically, the impact of taxes when withdrawing large sums from retirement accounts, and why many wealthy individuals choose to borrow rather than liquidate assets. You'll also learn about amortization versus compounding, how leverage can work in your favor, and why retirement planning should focus on income and cash flow—not just net worth. If you've ever wondered whether paying off your mortgage is the right move before retirement, this episode offers a perspective that may surprise you.
