We moved, and the mortgage is 68 the value of the house is 345,000.
Brand new nice place outside of raleigh.
I am going to be working at my old job until Xmas then my early retirement kicks in jan1 07.
My payments of 398 a month for 30 years at 6.15%
I will have about 40K from sick days pay out when I leave and salary up thru the end of december.
Should I pay down principal?
Should I refi with a home equity, but rates are higher now.
Should I pay monthly ahead 4 years and take the tax break on the interest for 05 since my take home this year is near 100K?
Or just stick the cash in the bank CD at 4.5%
I wish I didn't listen to my wife . I was ready to buy a house that would have been motgage free BUT she saw this one and hey it really has all the things she ever wanted in a house and she has worked her little Arse off for 20 years so I went for the 340 house instead of the 270 house.
The things we do for our better halves.
