Mortgages have always been a target of negative financial thoughts and something most traditional financial planners would suggest be paid of sooner than faster. After all, you don't "want all the interest" to be going to the banks! Right? Well, one of the topics of great debate, "paying off my mortgage is a mistake" has revealed certain truths through this recession.

There aren't many things that symbolize America more than popcorn and a movie. Just like becoming an over-night star and winning an Oscar, home ownership is the essence of the American Dream. Yet, once we actually "make it" it isn't always what it's cracked up to be. Like the movie star who seemingly has everything but still isn't happy, many homeowners view their mortgage as a burden they can't wait to get rid of. But is there something we're overlooking when it pertains to our mortgage?

I recall the one in 2008, 3 weeks before I was to conduct a third earthquake hit in Illinois financial planning workshop during Money Smart Week sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. It changed the information I was going to deliver at this workshop. In fact, I broke down in the middle of the presentation to re-enact how one of my close friends thought Jesus was coming. And it is a good time to bring it up again.

While reviewing the show strategy and business alignment over oxtail potstickers, chicken adobo and a Thai omelet at Sunda downtown, Ron Vergara states in his own words, "Matthew Sapaula completes me!"

During the real estate boom, it was hard to get anyone's attention. Nevertheless, the deceitfulness of wealth kept many people from hearing words of caution to protect this highly appreciated asset. It caused many to sit on the sidelines, admiring their home equity. The financial and retirement plan that was at least in the mind of many Americans several years ago, is not working out the way they thought it would. Traditional financial education, or lack there of, has failed, forcing people to start all over again.

Nothing but last minute shopping for me today, wrapping presents, listening to Christmas music, eating, drinking, spending time with the family. I appreciate the kindness of FOX Good Day Chicago in allowing my children experience the world of television. While on Christmas break, my three children were able to join me on a little "Daddy-at-Work". I gave tips for a segment regarding our homes, real estate and overall wealth-building plan in answering, "Is it a Good Time to Refinance?" or "Why Should I Refinance?"
