Our balance is $54,368.64 as of today.

$49,079.30 as of today.

I currently pay an extra $97.10/month toward principal. That rounds it off to an even dollar amount in case you're wondering where that number came from. For our last payment, $588.06 went to principal. Using that figure, we'd be done in 7 years. It will actually be less since the amount going to principal goes up slightly each month. I'm also hopeful that once my wife's van is paid off, we'll be able to throw more at the mortgage. We pay $400/month on the car (which is more than the actual payment).

I am down to $31k! I will have it paid off by the time I retire (June, 2017).

I just crossed the 200k mark which is pretty exciting to me. Started with a balance of 262,500 in 2011 and is now down to 199,653 as of today. Currently paying an additional 1200/mo and hoping to get it paid off in 5-6 more years.

Congrats on bringing it down and smelling retirement already!

Kudos to the addition 1200/mo and party time for crossing 200K!

On the one hand we haven't paid much down towards the mortgage. On the other hand paid off our $3500 furniture account.

Also property taxes look like they will double by next year. Started out at $2800 in 2013. Should be over $4800 in 2016. Any idea why this would be?

Great job also on the payment completion of the furniture account!
