honydonk,

If we assume your house was worth $500K when you bought it and is still worth $500K and you put down 25%, your net worth would look like this:

Assets

House -- $500K
Taxable savings -- $150K
Tax-deferred savings -- $70K

Total Assets --- $720K

Liabilities

Mortgage -- $375K

Total liabilities -- $375K

Net worth ---- $345K

which is actually a fabulous position to be in at your age.
