With interest rates reaching their highest in decades, the last few years have been especially hard for anyone with a mortgage. The dream of paying it off, and living mortgage free, is certainly alive - but research shows that more than one third of Brits think that's impossible before they retire. That's what Ken and Mary Okaroafor used to think too - until they uncovered the tricks that helped them clear their £380,000 debt in just 7 years. Now, the husband and wife consumer duo want to share how it's done - and more financial advice for families. They join us today with their book, and some unmissable tips.

Financial planning is like navigation. If you know where you are and where you want to go, navigation isn't such a great problem. It's when you don't know the two points that it's difficult

As any CPA will tell you…never let your outgoings be more than your incomings….you can be asset rich but cash poor….you have to want to work to earn money..

Good story, love this sort of information! It would be good to actually know how they enabled themselves to overpay on their mortgage. Ken mentioned you must have a plan, it would have been good to see a bit more of the plan (appriciate its in the book) not just 'dont buy designer handbags' for example.

It seems that everyone in this country wants to pay off there mortgage, but loose out on all the memories you can make going away with your children when they’re young. You only live once make the most of it. Too many of my friends simply get a job, work hard to pay off their mortgage, then retire.

Its still better long term to first focus on wealth building by utilizing the tax breaks you get and employer contributions on a personal persion, then an ISA then over pay the mortgage this is our plan right now.

Totally the wrong advice given in this video - these people don't even realise the fundamental mistake they made. There were likely better options available to them. In the UK there are significant tax advantages to overpaying into a pension (which if invested correctly should grow at a similar rate to the mortgage if not better) and then maybe using the 25% lump sum at early retirement to clear the mortgage. So provided the mortgage is affordable and you don't need to build equity for an upgrade then don't overpay it but let inflation erode it's value and make higher pension contributions. I could have been mortgage free in my 30s but would have been poorer for it. Consider the mortgage as some leverage to enhance the long term return on your capital.

I’n Australia you can pay mortgage off weekly, have an off set account, against Morgage live off credit card pay card off before monthly bill with money in off set account I asked about this here in Uk 30 years ago and they said yes can pay mortgage off weekly but we make repayment s monthly, Big Banks have had it sewn up here

It's incredible how much money you can save by paying off your mortgage early. I've been considering ways to accelerate our mortgage payments to save on interest in the long run.

So what is going to happen to the lazy equity in the property? As the saying goes, you cant eat equity. Smart money would have a balance thats controllable and using equity as a 2nd charge to buy more cashflowing assets.
