There's an idea that me and the wife have been talking about recently that I'd like to ask you guys about to see if you'd do anything differently.
We've been slowly paying off big debt and currently only have a few left to pay. In a nutshell, the plan is to pay off those few debts this year and use her salary to put directly on the mortgage starting next year. We would use my salary for other bills and family ventures. We both have base salaries right at 60k( her's being a little more since she's been with our company longer). I won't include overtime as it fluctuates. We do have a soon-to-be 2 year old. We owe around 110k. The plan is to sacrifice for a couple of years and get the house paid off and have all that extra money to use on another property( preferably something near the beach) and/or invest. Any advice? If I left out any details, my apologies.
