I got this question from friend -

He bought house last year with around 300K Mortgage & interest is prime minus 0.7

He got bonus at his workplace & wants to pay extra towards Mortgage

Is that a good move ?
If he don't pay extra, that amount will remain in bank with hardly any interest

Is there any other option, investment point of view ?

I suggested him to pay towards Mortgage

Any Suggestion ?

Pay towards mortgage principal.

:) :) I would do that even though the rate P-0.7, Hhhmm mine is much higher so it makes absolute sense to me.
