This is one of those programs that you can tell a lot of thought and work has gone into
the principals behind it. This program has one real purpose, to help you reduce the amount
of money you are paying for your home mortgage. Guess what? That is exactly what it does.
This fantastic program explains to you in a laymans language in a clear and concise
manner, how your mortgage works, and how to reduce the amount of money you are paying for
your house.
Here is one of the useful facts that this program points out:
On an $80,000 fixed rate 30 year mortgage at 8% interest, you can have your home paid off
4.3 years early and save $22,382 in interest by paying just $25 more with each monthly
payment. If you paid $100 extra each month, your mortgage would be paid off 11.2 years
early and you'd save $56,494 over the remaining 18.8 years.
