Pay off your 30-year mortgage in only 17 years!
. . . save $97,000 with $200 each month

Buy a home with a thirty-year mortgage, and you'll make your last payment in the year 2030. Borrow $120,000 on a $150,000 home for thirty years at 8.0%, and you will have paid $196,994 in interest alone. Want to reduce the interest you pay over the term of your loan? Want to own your home "free and clear" in half the time? Don't "pay by the rules!"

Although your mortgage may pay out over thirty years, interest is charged at a "simple" rate, on only the principal balance owed each month. The monthly payments represent the minimum due each month, and any additional amounts paid are applied directly to the principal balance.

For example, payments on an $120,000 mortgage are $880.51 per month. Of the first monthly payment, $800.00 is interest, and only $80.51 is applied to principal. If an additional $100 was paid each month, it would all be applied to principal, resulting in a faster reduction of the principal balance. What's the impact of paying an extra $100 each month? The loan will be paid in slightly over 21 years. The net savings? $67,080!

Pay $200 more each month, and the savings escalate dramatically, and the mortgage evaporates in less than 17 years, saving you over $97,000. Voila! You have a financial opportunity you may not have known even existed.
