I also approached this conservatively with a 2% repayment rate and an installment of around €850, since my wife was pregnant at the time of the loan agreement 2.5 years ago and it was not clear how many hours she would work after parental leave. We currently have around €3600 net together (already subtracting 1 company car), a second car is also available, a bigger and a smaller vacation are possible every year, and we also have a child. Nevertheless, we want to make more special repayments than you and have already managed to do so twice. We are quite frugal with going out or similar activities, so one can certainly spend more on life, and our daycare fees are also reasonable compared to other regions. However, when I calculated future earnings for you, I only included a 20-hour job. Whether you plan more or less is something you have to decide for yourselves.
About the financing itself
1.) What about kfw?
2.) If you plan no or hardly any special repayments, variant 2 probably makes more sense (provided the allocations and changes in the rate work out).
The more you repay early, the shorter the term, and the sooner variant 1 or even a shorter term with a better interest rate becomes worthwhile. Therefore, you really have to look at what special repayments are feasible.
Then there are also the disadvantages of variant 2 in old age. (please inform yourself carefully about what happens if you want to move out of your house for whatever reason) Additionally, you actually wanted a transparent financing, which would also speak in favor of variant 1.
A small note:
I actually don’t like building savings contracts (Bausparfinanzierungen), but I admit that variant 2 does not seem unattractive under the conditions you set.
You just have to be aware of what you are signing.
