MakintheBacon,

Of course you don’t need to skip them completely but at the same time I don’t think using the excuse “it’ll up the value of my home” justifies the extra renos. Definitely if you have the budget for then by all means do it, I’m more concerned about people who are tapping into their equity to do renos.

Just be financially smart about them. Not everything needs to be super high end and done right away. Oh and the obvious part, make sure you set aside money for it. 😛

Thanks for the feedback, I’m actually in shock that many people have no idea that a simple change can shave years off their mortgages.

Living within our means and taking on loan that we only need is also important thing to do. I have been using some your tips and have cut down my amortization by at least 10 years so far and look to keep doing these simple things. Thanks for sharing these.
