DITCHING THAT PESKY MORTGAGE INSURANCE - WORTH THE HASSLE?

Okay, quick poll time. I've been crunching numbers lately (ugh, math) and realized I'm finally at the point where I might be able to get rid of that annoying PMI payment every month. You know, that extra chunk of cash that feels like it's vanishing into thin air? Anyway, I've heard mixed things from friends—some say it's totally worth refinancing or paying down the principal early to drop it ASAP, while others think it's not really worth the hassle or fees involved. Personally, I'm leaning towards biting the bullet and trying to ditch it sooner rather than later. But before I dive headfirst into paperwork hell, figured I'd see what everyone else thinks. Quick show of hands—who here has actually gone through with getting rid of their PMI early? Was it a pain or pretty straightforward? And if you haven't bothered yet, what's holding you back... laziness (no judgment lol), fees, or something else entirely? Curious to hear some real-world experiences before I make my move.

I totally feel you on the sushi Fridays, haha... I'm currently debating this exact thing. On one hand,

"it felt like I'd given myself a mini raise every month"

sounds amazing, but is it worth giving up other financial goals? Did you crunch any numbers afterward to see how investing that money might've played out? I'm curious because I'm leaning toward a balanced approach myself, but ditching PMI early is sooo tempting.
