DH and I were able to refinance into a 20-year fixed mortgage at 4.875 percent, which knocks 5 years off of our 30-year mortgage immediately and nearly $60,000 in total costs. And this is if we don't pay a cent extra each month, which we plan to do. By paying a bit extra, we effectively will...

This is a question that only my husband and myself can answer, but please give me your two cents. We live in an OLD house. We have a 15 year mortgage on it with ten years to go. If we keep this mortgage, we will be done paying by the time we're fifty. Sounds good so far, right? Well, we need...

We were really backed up against the wall when Dave bought his car, and I'd love to get a better interest rate to pay it off sooner, just don't know if it's worth it, how it works, etc. TIA :)

I have a bad mortgage loan at the moment, a whopping 7.4%. I want to refinance, and the 15 year options looks enticing at 5.5%! Problem is that my monthly payments will go up. I could afford to meet this increase, but I am doing the debt snowball now, and I am afraid that the extra payments...
