| 0:00.0 | Kyle's question is up next he says I'm currently in the messy middle on step seven. |
| 0:13.2 | However, my current housing payment is 30% of my gross income. |
| 0:18.7 | Could it make sense to make a lump sum payment to recast my mortgage to below 25% of my gross income per money guy rules. |
| 0:30.0 | What do you think? |
