House Hunting

Well we have got the home loan, and we have started looking... It got me thinking we would be in our 60's when it got paid off!  So I looked at a calculator and if we paid an extra $300 a month that would take 16.5 years off our 30 year loan!!!   Which would mean we would be in our 40's with a paid off house.  

So I think we are going to go with a house that was lower with payments that are about $300 or so less than what we can afford to pay and then use the extra for a principal payment each month, this way we can start paying for our daughter's college with that money we would normally pay in mortgage.    

I don't know sounds too easy
