Add A Few Dollars To Your Mortgage Payment
By Terry J. Rigg, Fri Dec 9th
Many of us don't believe that a few dollars can make a bigdifference. In a lot of cases that is true. But when it comes tomortgages or any other type of loan, a few extra dollars cansave you Big Bucks. The chart below gives examples of three different loan terms andwhat paying between $75 to $100 more a month would do to themortgage. It is based on a $100,000.00 loan at 7% interest. ----------------------------------------------------------------YearsInt Rate Payment InterestTotal of PaymentsSavings

Oklahoma Home Equity Loans
Oklahoma home equity loans are secure loan that offers low rates and you can choose between adjustable and fixed rates of interest.
$74.70 to your 20 year loan you can save $16,662.42and pay the loan off in 16 1/2 years. By adding $101.07 to your 15 year loan you can save $11,271.73and pay the loan off in 12 1/2 years. You can also see by the chart that obtaining a shorter loan termwhen you buy your house can save a lot of money. There are a couple of things that you need to check. First isthat your loan agreement doesn't allow the loan company tocharge penalties for early payment. Secondly, if you itemizeyour federal income taxes and deduct interest, payingless interest will mean a lower deduction. I believe it is safeto say that the interest savings will far outweigh the taxsavings. Even if you don't have $75 to $100 a month to add to yourmortgage payment, even $25 would save a lot.
