Now we can just "focus" on saving using the snowball affect except it goes to our EF. That's an extra $700 a month that will be putting away on top of what we currently save now.
We're currently paying an extra $100/month on the mortgage. I'm tempted to increase that, but I think it would be better to boost non-retirement savings. Both of our cars are getting older (both over 100K miles) and we've only got 5 years before college expenses arrive. I think once I cap off the Roths this month, I'll start stashing cash for those things.
