Payment Tips & Strategies

💡 Extra Payments

Making extra principal payments can significantly reduce total interest and shorten your loan term.

📅 Bi-Weekly Payments

Switching to bi-weekly payments effectively makes 13 monthly payments per year instead of 12.

🎯 Interest Rate Impact

Even a 0.5% reduction in interest rate can save thousands over the life of the loan.

⚖️ Payment vs. Investing

Consider investing extra money if potential returns exceed your loan interest rate.

🏦 Refinancing Options

Monitor rates regularly. Refinancing can lower payments if rates drop significantly.

📊 Budget Planning

Keep total debt payments under 36-40% of gross monthly income for financial stability.
