Property vs Stocks vs Pay Off Mortgage
What’s the smartest use of your next $100?
Should you:
● Pay down your mortgage
● Invest in shares
● Or put that money into property? The problem is that most advice online comes from the US or UK — and the rules are different in New Zealand.
In this video, Ed breaks down paying off debt vs stocks vs property, using NZ interest rates, tax rules, and real investor behaviour.
In the next 15 minutes, you’ll learn:
● How each investment actually works (they’re not comparable in the way people think)
● The real after-tax returns of debt, shares, and property
● Why leverage makes property so powerful — and dangerous
● The hidden risks most investors ignore
● Which option makes sense at different stages of life This isn’t about hype or “one perfect answer”.
It’s about understanding what each option is good at — and when it’s the wrong move.
