Re: LTE 2.0
We have done that since owning our 2nd home. We had very few $ left over at the end of the month during our early married years and we knew the 1st home was gonna be for 3-5 years anyway so we put no extra $ into that one. If you look at the interest $ saved by paying off a 30 year loan in about 20 years, the amounts are amazing.ArkieDukie wrote:A fine suggestion, DD, and I've been thinking along those lines - as well as putting more into retirement.devildeac wrote:I'd certainly budget $100 or $200 monthly toward paying your mortgage off earlier.ArkieDukie wrote: Morning, all! I have to be at church at 9:15 - the handbell choir is playing today. Could be a train wreck.
Filled out my taxes yesterday and found out that I'm getting a HUGE refund. (And, yes, I'll fix my withholding so that doesn't happen again!) Now comes the big decision: what to do with the big refund? New home theatre system with high-def tv, surround sound, and blu-ray player? Macro lens for my camera? A big vacation (something I've never done before)? Put the money in savings? Decisions, decisions...
I always look at putting a few extra $ into my 401K/profit sharing plan, too, and not taking it as salary. The thinking is that I don't pay taxes now and will be in a lower tax bracket when I retire and the money grows tax-deferred.
We did splurge on a nice vacation in July, 2008 to celebrate our 30th anniversary. It was an echo conference on a cruise. The corporation paid for it with pre-tax $, too . Mrs. DD didn't mind a bit 'cuz when I was attending my lectures, she had her quiet time .

Re: LTE 2.0
When my daughter was debating which school to choose (not that there was ever really much of a choice ), the event that solidified her decision was one Sunday in April at church when all her friends (soon to be ex-friends ) announced during Senior HS Sunday that they were going to kerlina, she happened to be the last to speak and made sure she announced in a loud and proud voice that she would be attending DUKE UNIVERSITY. Couldn't have made a MOM and POP prouder .Rolvix wrote:I have made many new enemies today.

They have "rolling" admissions at DuncE, IIRC, so there is early decision, then some folks are notified in mid-January and then prolly the regular notification group around 4/1.Lavabe wrote:Is Feb 1 normal or early notification?
