Hi,
#18 checking in, mortgage and one loan min payments have come out with another loan payment due out later this month.
I can't see myself paying any more above the minimum as family holiday is mid-Feb and I'd like yo keep hold of the spare cash until after holiday and any left over will go as an overpayment.
