What this means for your plan
Plain-English trade-offs to help you decide with confidence.
- Long-term vs. short-term
A 30-year loan keeps payments low but costs far more in interest. A 15-year loan flips that trade-off — higher monthly payment, much less interest.
- Rate-sensitive plan
At this rate, prepayments and refinances have outsized impact. Revisit your refinance plan if rates drop even half a point.
- Money freed up = money invested
Every dollar you save here can be redirected into long-term investing. The earlier you reroute it, the larger the compounded result.
