Extra mortgage payment or invest?

I
Mar 2, 2025 · 23:08

I am 5 years into a 30 year mortgage at 3.75%. Would it make more sense to make an extra payment towards the principal once a year or invest that extra amount.

I know if I had started making extra payments at the start of my mortgage, it would of dropped to around 24 years instead of 30. Is that still true if you’re already 5 years into it?
