But I think we're doing a pretty good job by freeing up nearly $4,000/month of after tax money (Currently $1k to interest only).


No question this is pretty substantial.

And I said "monks" - but as long as this is manageable, it doesn't seem unreasonable. However, you'll find that as you make more money, more and more of this kind of budget item will seem "essential" and not "luxury."

That leaves us with a balloon note at the end of nothing or next to nothing.


I hope it works out with few, if any, curveballs from life.

I really appreciate everyone's input.
