I was originally planning on the investment route, but right now I'm leaning towards the mortgage. We're in the first year of a 5 year term (25 years total) so I figure any extra payments today will mean big interest savings down the road. Our interest rate is about 5.10%, which isn't a massive return but at least it's tax free.
Any thoughts/suggestions (other than spending the cash on hookers and blow?)  |
You can max out my RRSP's if you are interested .......
