June 2017 – Mortgage Payoff Update

At the end of June, our remaining balance is at 35.02% of our original mortgage that we took out in 2007. That’s a reduction of 2.21%.

How much longer?

Once all of June’s payments are applied, we’ll have reduced our mortgage balance by about $3002 this month. We’re finally below $50k and marching towards 40k. We’ve still got 15 payments left! That means our mortgage will be paid off on October 1, 2018.

I recalculated everything to make them a bit more conservative. Unfortunately, that adds one more month. However, we should be able to more easily reach this deadline. Before we were really stretching it and didn’t have a lot of flexibility for when other things come up.

New Series

I’ll be posting a new series soon that covers our budget. My guess is that there are questions out there about how we’re paying off our mortgage so quickly and being able to still live life in general. When we started budgeting, we did a lot of research trying to figure out how much other people were budgeting for different categories. Hopefully it will give some insight to everyone who reads about it.
