I paid bills, balanced the checkbooks, and did a projection for what we will be able to pay for the August 1 house payment. If all goes as planned, we will be able to pay an extra $5,000 on the principal which will mean that as of August 1, we will owe $31,515. The mind boggling thing is that if we had only been making regular payments, we would still owe $266,524. YEA!!! My other goal for 2009 is to increase my emergency fund to $7,000 and so far so good, I am at $6800.
There are so many things I am just putting off until the house is paid off that I have started a list which is fun to play around with--what do do first, a dishwasher that works or repair the broken window?
