That's awesome! Get an amortization that you can look at and put in additional principal payments and get that sucker paid off in 10 years and save 100K

FHLB Topeka. Look there for info. I tried to post a link but I'm new and CP won't let me.

Applies to folks in Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Oklahoma. You need to live there at least 5 years for full benefit which you should any way if you're buying a house. If you move after 3 years you'd lose 2K of the grant. You must make under a certain amount, etc.

That's one way to look at it but you also have to look at the opportunity cost (Can I make more than 2.50% in the stock market instead of paying extra on the mortgage?)

Hard to argue against making an extra payment or so each year, or a little extra each month. Most would agree though paying off a house all at once if you're in a position to is less profitable than investing that money, especially at that rate.

30 years is a long time to have a debt hanging over your head so I could see paying it off just for the peace of mind even if it doesn't make the most sense for financial gain. I think later in life is when I would make the more aggressive payments as my investments would become more conservative anyway.

I had the same philosophy. My financial goals started with the goal of keeping myself from being homeless. I was willing to push harder on the house payments to achieve that goal first and foremost. It's a nice feeling to know that my home is paid for and all mine.

What if I profit now and buy in cheaper later provided this isn’t just a sales pitch company?

You're a filthy short who doesn't realize the true value of this company.

I 100% don't get it. Their hydrogen tech seems like it's got a 10% chance of working, and their battery tech isn't anything that a dozen other manufacturers aren't working on.

Ride the speculative bubble and nothing more.
