We Canucks can't deduct mortgage interest.

We took a 20 year amortization to keep the payments sane in case something happened, but then made lump sum payments as we went along.

I wrote a cheque for the remaining $8875.01 last week. Felt good. I thought about borrowing against the house, and we came within a moment of refinancing 'cause we could get 3% money, but then decided at the last second to just be done with it. We talked about taking $30K and really going to town on some renos with redoing the whole yard and all the bathrooms.

Now we'll just pay-as-we-go...
