As a number of my clients approach retirement, they are asking which debt they should put extra funds towards, their mortgage or their car? I have been a fan of semi-monthly mortgage payments for a long time, it is an easy way to knock about 10 years off the life of your mortgage. Also, I believe that putting funds toward something that will appreciate in value vs. depreciate is the way to go. So accelerate payments toward the mortgage first.
