Just got my annual mortgage statement. Now paying $633.46 per month (YAH!) and my payment will go down to something like $623/month but if I make a payment of $72 to cover the shortage it will reduce to $617/month. Any opinions here?

I did too, and just this week! Unfortunately (for me) I think I'm probably at least 15 years older than you! Still, it feels good. Also just upped my contribution to 11%. My goal is 15% within the next year. And my 5.05% online savings continues to grow. . . Guess I'm a late bloomer. Woohoo! I did too, and just this week!

Now if I leave, I won't be throwing money away. Not long after, they provided all employees with a stock grant, which would be vested in March 2009 (only if the employee is still working there). Now I'll have to stick around longer to avoid throwing money away........ When I became fully vested in my employer match (at 3 years), I thought, Great!
