Mortgage Progress For February

I was sitting at work today thinking about how lucky I am that I have a job and can pay someone else to tile. Just doing little things around the house has worn me out. Sometimes it is just nice to be able to do what I know how to do and let someone else do what they know how to do.

I didn't put any extra money towards the mortgage because I don't have the final cost of this house renovation yet. I paid the normal mortgage payment so the total now is $5,882.

If I don't pay any extra, I will have it paid off in 10 months. If I go back to my extra payment schedule in April then I will have it paid off in June. The end of the mortgage always seems to be just out of reach. One of these days I will get to the end though and it will be so nice.

Nearly there Daisy!

I don't blame you paying someone else to tile...my least favourite job!

You're so close! And yes tiling is hard, you're lucky to have someone else do it.

We could do with remembering how lucky we are from time to time. Good shout.

Once you get your place rented out again, you will get back on your accelerated mortgage repayment schedule.

It's just hard to plan when I am still spending so much money on this house project. It will feel very good to get back on track.

10 months is nothing. At least you have some assurance that it will end before long, extra payments or not.

executioner, that is true. At least I am still very close. It is very frustrating to have to put all the extra money in to the house but when it is rented again I can put it behind me and pay this thing off.
