It is exhausting trying to stay busy wish they had more work they keep saying "more is almost here" so i will wait.
I have really done math while at work to see how much extra to pay off house in 36 / 30 / 24 / or 12 months.
I have been averaging somewhere between the 36/30 month category ( if 36 month will have paid the 15 year loan in 11)
It is weird that even with 20% increase in my income i somehow do not feel the progress i think i should.
my check is split 3 ways
25% goes to my everyday checking
10% goes to one of my three savings accounts
65% is in what i call my holding tank it is split to investments the other two savings and paying extra on mortgage.
So i had some small charges on credit and now i found out i did my math wrong and almost paid too much had to stop and wait for billing to catch up.
i am paying weekly as that is how temps are generally paid, this has always worked for me but sometimes my payments get there before bill cycle. more then one bill i end up with a credit on a bill. that just offsets charges for next month.

I can see small gains each week but it might be more rewarding to see one payment per month. oh well as long as it is credited 75 per week vs lil over 300 a month is the same.
it is easy to see how as people get a raise/ or a better job it can be absorbed and not noticed after a couple months.
