Killed our PMI
« on: June 24, 2019, 06:44:50 AM »
We aggressively attacked our principal so we would qualify to remove our PMI.  We just heard from our lender that it is officially dead !(RIP PMI)  Sorry for the internet brag but no one in my life really understands or appreciates this huge accomplishment.  Thanks for being an awesome resource MMM contributors.

Thanks guys!  I'll starting dumping the PMI payments and the amount going to principle into investments asap!  I love having a historically low mortgage rate

Awesome and I totally get how good it feels to not be throwing away money each month.  It drove me nuts for so many years that we had PMI on our insurance, and it was required to be on for at least 5 years.  As soon as we could get it removed we paid down to do so, such BS.  Hopefully your investing dead PMI.

Luckily we didn't have to wait until five years but they wouldn't remove our PMI based on current home value so we still had to pay it down. All of that PMI payment amount is now earmarked for VTSAX :) every little bit counts

Awesome!   The first BIG step to freedom!   When others pay you to borrow money, NOT the debtors prison way!

Thanks everyone!  It's great to share our accomplishments without people saying that we're "lucky" or other nonsense

Sure, there's some luck, like that you didn't die in a murder-suicide when you were 3; or that you weren't born in Detroit and had poisonous water flowing into your home; or that you didn't have a porn addiction that meant you couldn't explore cool stuff online like MMM because of the pain you kept causing yourself.

The same luck most dickweeds have who could have also paid off their PMI.

Again, you're awesome, and I hope you have more successes to post.

I for one like your aggressive borderline sarcastic tone on your posts.  It adds a bit of interesting character to the forum (yes I'm being serious)

Thanks. I worry I'm being too much of a dumbass. Knowing that I'm adding to the personalities on here makes me feel good.
