This Week/March 19-25

ROUND UP THE MORTGAGE CHECK. If you’re paying $1,512 a month, send the mortgage company $1,600 instead. It’s a painless way to increase your monthly savings, the extra $88 a month could allow you to pay off your mortgage years earlier, and you’ll earn a pretax return equal to your mortgage’s interest rate. That rate will likely be lower than the long-run return on stocks, but it should be better than you can get with high-quality bonds and certificates of deposit.
