We signed closing on this home 3 yrs ago today.

First one is what was taken for the realtor to advertise, the second one in 2019 when we got the fence up.

We have 117.5 things left on the punch list.

We have 26 years left on the mortgage. 

We have been paying extra on the mortgage so we got it down an extra year but as of yesterday we decided to "take the hit"

LORD BE WITH US as it's going to be squeaky tight around here.

We decided that starting June 1st  that ALL of our social security  and my IRA income from Daddy's to go to the mortgage. These are 3 incomes we never counted on when planning our retirement. I didn't think Daddy would out live his income let alone that he had that much income and we never counted on Social Security to be there when we did retire.

Hubby is going to put back what he was short this year during the pandemic ... how many of us started a brand new business in a brand new area in a pandemic??? ALONG with buying 2 new trailers and a new truck and all the costs of driving numbers (DOT AND MC #) and business start up with legal stuff SIGH and run it 9 months instead of 12.  I am surprised he was only short $150/ month.  and that included buying 2 sets of tires for trailers and 3 sets for truck. He now puts semi tires that hold up a lot better on the truck. He needs a third more to have what he needs and since I just did the business bills I know he can pretty much get that this month. He went back to work Saturday. THANK HEAVENS as he was starting to bug me by watching me. 

Our loan officer suggested using this site to see how extra payments would affect the loan

SO I put  the amounts in  started with just the extra payment, added my social security, then my IRA and then Hubby said add his social security.

Original date of pay off was April 1st 2048.

We have already cut a year off that so April 1 2047.

By starting June 1st 2021 and paying all the extra amounts...both social securities , extra payment in budget and my IRA....

Pay off date would be Sept 1st 2024 and last payment $87.42. ..

Kids are backing us on this which helps. 

Got to get around for physical therapy... yep should be able to handle a mild work out LOL
