PMI stands for Private Mortgage Insurance, and it is required on mortgages with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80%. For example, if your home was worth $100k at the time of closing, and you owe more than $80k on the loan, you are required to have PMI.

I got my annual PMI disclosure tonight, and it says that if I’ve had my loan for at least two years, and have a good payment history for at least two years, I am eligible to cancel my PMI.

It’s not a lot, mind you. But I’d love to save the ~$70/mo it costs. That’s a fifth of vodka and a bag of CBD gummies, every month.

    I strongly recommend not disclosing that you intend to use the monthly savings on vodka and gummies

      Unless you’re getting a cash-out refinance, financial institutions really don’t care what you spend your money on. The bank rep especially isn’t being paid enough to care.
