Mathematically it probably is. Every cent you pay over minimum should go to principal, not interest, meaning that less interest can be charged. We pay a smidge over minimum pretty much every month.

But then, we also got to abuse TARP funds and turn our 2-year-old 30-year into a 15-year with the same payment back in 2009 so there's that.

Shit man, luck is the intersection of preparation and opportunity (Seneca-ish). Take it when you can get it.

As a friend put it, success is being in the right place at the right time and the most successful people spend a lot of time in the right place.
