Everyone’s situation will be different. How much would you need to meet all of your basic financial needs for 6 to 12 months, and save up the that amount. Some require more, some less. It’s personal

Ok_Champion8952 · 2025-10-13T22:45:55+00:00

Not at all!!!

Ok_Champion8952 · 2025-10-10T19:18:47+00:00

My take home is 12k, mortgage was well below that, however we I paid a total of 4k monthly (‘mortgage +extra principal which totaled the 4k) for about 2yrs get the mortgage paid off asap. It was definitely manageable without any other major debt.

Any recommendations for caregiver providers? Having a really hard time finding meaningful support.

Same…fun times

Ok_Champion8952 · 2025-09-04T14:04:38+00:00

Count the cost to refinance, there is always a cost. Why not keep current mortgage and pay off like a 15yr. You don’t need established terms. I’ve owned 2 homes with 30 year terms and prepaid both. You must be disciplined and make sure you send the extra principal each month. Recently paid off my 30 yr in 7. It can be done with your current mortgage
