I don't fit the typical LetsRun mold of making $500k a year and running 14:xx for 5K with tons of ladies on the side, but do have a personal finance question that I think some people can help me with.
My wife (29) and I (26) have ~30K in savings and want to get it out of there and invest it wisely. We have a Roth IRA and 401Ks that are contributed to (with company match).
We also have mortgage and have ~30K left until we have no PMI left on the mortgage (it was either high rent or high real estate).
Our mortgage payment each month (with taxes escrowed and PMI) is $2050.
We make $108K combined (after taxes...thanks tax season!).
I want to get some/most of that money out of savings and put it toward either the Roth IRA/401K or put it toward the mortgage to get rid of the PMI (it is only $120/mo).
Is there an obvious place to put some of that money? What's your reasoning?
Just trying to make a smart choice...Compound interest is very appealing...
Thanks!
