these are about the same type of investments. Is there a large value fund to choose from?

Is this 401k plan administered by Paychex? This looks similar to my wife's 401k...

I would change your exemptions so you take home around another $500 per month. Take this money and immediatey fund a Roth for your wife. You will still get $2500 back from taxes, but more money will be working for you sooner.

I would add the $2500 each year to the anti pmi fund from tax return until PMI is removed. I give you 4 years of adding $2500, plus adding in 1/3 of cc payment before PMI is removed.
