Thank you! I suppose the only nightmare situation would be if we were to lose our jobs AND the market tanked… But, you can't make decisions out of fear. I think a good compromise might be upping our emergency fund a bit just to be safe.

I appreciate your insight! I can imagine that is a great feeling, and I appreciate getting to hear both sides

Thank you! Someone else mentioned just increasing the emergency fund, which seems similar to your advice… I'm glad to have your insight!

Would you mind elaborating a bit more?

Thank you for this!!

Thank you! I will peruse this now!!!

Can you enlighten me a bit on where you get the $2000 figure from? Just curious!

You make a good point! I think my Ally savings account is currently earning 3.4% interest, which is crazy to think… Thank you for your input!

This was helpful! Thank you!

I appreciate the insight, and you're right - mathematically! I'm also thinking of the psychological aspects of not having 2 mortgages
