Mortgage 30,000 at 6% for 5 years with $600 monthly payment starting January 2006. All online calcs I found always change the monthly payment. I want a simple monthly repayment statement without having to do the math.

Im closing on my first house next week. My husband and I are both 30. I checked I mortgage caculator and found out if we make a payment of $3500.00 1 x a year in addition to our regular payments then we will pay the loan off 10 years earlier. Is that a good thing to do with our money or should we be putting it into some sort of stocks for retirement.
