best thing to do is to plot out the amortization tables in excel and compare the different scenarios. -- nm - znufrii Sep 9, 09:36 6
- best thing to do is cover your monthly expenses as best you can. the long run isn't important here. -- nm - amanda hk Sep 9, 09:38 5
  - even in the short run, it's about $150-200 more being spent on interest a month instead of paying down principal to free up $400 a month in cash flow - znufrii Sep 9, 09:47 3
    - the money spent on interest a month is irrelevant for this exercise. - groiny Sep 9, 09:49 2
      - while your IM may be entirely true, including a discussion of costs in decisions about cash flow are by no means irrelevant. -- nm - znufrii Sep 9, 10:07
      - right -- nm - Don Homer Sep 9, 09:51
  - yeah, it is no fun stressing for 6 months on how you are going to feed your kids. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 9, 09:39
