Another thing, for those who have PMI (Private mortgage insurance), it is best to get rid of that. You have to have at least 20% down on your house to get out of PMI. If you are in a position where you are required to have it, if you pay extra every month, keep track of where you are and as soon as you have that 20% down, call your mortgage holder and ask them to take you off of the PMI program.

I'm glad you mentioned PMI!!!! It slipped my mind--I need to call our mortgage co. about that. We should be able to remove it in the next month or so.
