First mortgage after 40 or just pump super?
Saw a great question here about whether it's better to pay down a mortgage or pump super.
I'm 40 and I don't even have a mortgage. It sucks having to rent, I want the housing security, but it also seems like a bit of a waste to even bother at this point.
I'm self employed so every cent I earn is taxed. It makes sense to be putting more of it into super instead of saving for a house.
What if I just keep maxing out my concessional super contributions? Could I potentially retire and find housing security then, and ultimately be better off financially?
