Mortgage Payoff Update
As I proclaimed, lol, my husband and I are attempting to pay off our mortgage within 6 years or less – specifically, by the end of 2013. In order to stay on track, I’ll be posting updates here as we make progress. Here’s what we have accomplished so far:
Payoff Amount on our goal start date (10/26/2011) – $62,634
This is the first week of our goal, so this is basically the starting point. All we have done so far is start the transfer of $7000 from our ING Savings account to Chase which we will be applying to our mortgage this coming week when it clears.
