u/Initial-County-8293

My wife and I just had twins. I make $156k, my wife makes $91k. Our mortgage is $2166 @ 6% without escrow (escrow would be $1297 but we pay taxes and insurance ourselves). Mortgage balance is $355k and home value is just over $1.1M. This is our only debt. Problem is they are about to start daycare and it’s going to be $4500/month. Utility bills are also expensive here. We live in MA. Should we just pause aggressively paying off the house for now?
