  • Hello again,


    I'm not over 50 but I'm very near to it.
    I did think about putting the money into my pension but, what with divorce and other issues, I've got a mortgage which originally went on until I was 67. I've over paid by a small amount and it's not a massive mortgage, so I thought that should be my priority to get rid of the mortgage first but it's fixed at the moment and I don't want to pay penalties.
    If I invest a chunk of money (hopefully with a fairly decent return), then I would use some of that to pay off the mortgage but also immediately pay some of it off anyway, at the earliest opportunity.
