That is exactly how I paid off my mortgage early and I am going to do this next year. I really need to get on the ball, and you are inspiring me my friend.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive that you dropped your mortgage by $10,000 in such a short time. If anyone can do it, you can.
ReplyDeleteour goal is $75000 a year extra. Will be a solid test of will power as we also lowered the pull from Hubby's IRA since we are no longer helping Daughter 4
