    How long have you known there would be a shortfall ? It would have been better to start overpaying earlier, if possible. The options now are limited. How much can you afford to overpay each month ? Will the lender permit overpayments ?

    It may be better to overpay and lengthen the maturity date by a year.

    Money left from what ?

    Forget about the new windows for a period.
