I am currently 27 years old and little to no debt. I have an additional 2K which i am interested in applying to my mortgage. The current amount is 222,000.00 I also have a tenant who pays the rent. I used a calculator and it stated that i could pay it off in 7 yrs by paying the extra 2K a month. I am in the 25% tax bracket. Is this a great idea?

My husband and I just sold a piece of property. We will net 1,000,000. We are both 60 and he will soon retire. He has a reasonable retirement which should be enough for our basic needs. We would like to invest the 1,000,000 so that the earnings will priovide us with a few "extras". We are not willing to take much risk. Where should we put this money?

What is the true definition of "disposable income". Is it what is left after the basic life expenses are paid? Or is it the total amount of income received? We are retired, with a good income, but our property taxes are humongous. We could get a reduction if our "disposable income" is less than $35K annually. Thanks!
