Work towards becoming mortgage-free faster. This is one of the best strategies to help secure your retirement income. Not only will you be mortgage free when entering into retirement, but it also allows you to increase your savings during working years. Understanding how a mortgage works and the importance of maintaining a low interest rate are key to paying off your mortgage sooner.

Some tips to becoming mortgage free faster include: making accelerated or extra payments throughout the year, converting to a bi-weekly payment structure rather than monthly, maintaining constant payments even if your interest rate falls during the term of the mortgage and using caution when opening a home equity line of credit.
