Pay a Little Extra Each Month

Do you have a mortgage? Is it 25 years, 30 years or even longer? The majority of mortgage companies will allow you to pay extra each month if you can. The idea is to make certain to pay on the principle and not the interest. The principle determines the amount of interest that you pay. If you pay a little on the principle each month that is extra, you will in the long run end up fixing your finances and paying a lot less in interest.

Make certain that you pay a minimum of $5.00 extra each month. On the month’s that you can afford to do so pay as much as $100 extra toward the principle. Doing this every month will greatly reduce the amount of interest that you end up paying on the mortgage.
