What if one of the most praised money moves in Canada is quietly slowing down your future? In this episode of LIFE’S Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, we take a close look at the common belief that paying off your mortgage as fast as possible is always the smartest path. We unpack when that thinking may serve you, when it may limit you, and why home equity can be either a sleeping asset or a wise wealth-building tool. We also talk about fear dressed up as caution, the difference between reckless debt and strategic leverage, and why blanket financial rules can hurt people in the wrong season. Could your house be doing more for you than simply sitting there fully paid off? Watch now and consider how to build wealth wisely through real estate with more clarity, more peace, and better timing.
