Got the payment down under four figures. including taxes and insurance. Ya gotta pay to live somewhere so that's pretty good. I can retire in just over 3 years if all goes as planned. Tough to sell such a sweet bike but its just a bike after all. Being out of debt is way more exciting.
It's nice to have a manageable debt load and a low mortgage payment. When we did our refi, our APR went to 3.875% which lowered our payment to less than $400/month. Subsequent to that we were able to lock it at 2.875% and it is now only $320/month. By the end of 2013 we intend to have the house paid off, something we are eagerly anticipating.
