If your mortgage debt carries with it a high interest rate, you could try refinancing at a lower interest rate. This alone can save thousands of dollars. When mortgage rates are down, and you refinance your existing mortgage, your monthly payment will be much lower. This allows you to do one of two things. You can either make the new, lower monthly payment for thirty years, or you can continue to pay what you had been paying, and your home will be paid off much sooner than expected. If refinancing is not an option, you could pay more than your monthly mortgage payment. Even a little extra applied to your mortgage debt can make a big difference over time. As long as you specify that you want the additional funds applied to the principal of the loan, you will save a lot of money over the course of the loan, because you will be paying less interest on the money that you initially borrowed. This option does not require you to refinance, so you will not have to obtain a new loan. However, you will still benefit from paying a lot less interest. . Mortgage
