I get where you’re coming from, but I think it really depends on your long-term goals and how attached you are to the house. After my bankruptcy, I wa...
That’s exactly where I landed too. It’s wild how a lower monthly payment can feel like a win, but when you see the total interest, it’s a gut check. I...
