    I told my coworkers I wanted to have a mortgage paid in full before I turn 40 a couple years ago when I turned 27. I dont think they thought I was serious and that I was living a pipe dream. I worked 4 years prior and the next 4 years on overtime hours every chance I could get, took advantage of the stock market and housing market rally during 2020 and today at the age of 33 I am able to pay a mortgage in full and live free. It won't be a nice house, but it'll give me freedom to move to greater goals...

      I'm really happy for you. Paying off a mortgage is huge. And the freedom that you have to do more of what you want probably feels amazing.
      Keep on keeping on. Eventually if you wanted a new place a nice move could be to make it a rental property and use that cash flow to help pay of the new mortgage.

      Yes!!! Thank you! How come no one is talking about it. My mortgage lender flat out said people get mortgages based one their income. It is usually 40-60%… I can’t believe it!!! Half of your money goes to mortgage!! What if you have a child and he has to go to daycare, or your car breaks down and you need to finance a new one or, god forbid, you loose your job! It will come down crashing so fast, we won’t know what hit us. People have no more savings, credit card debt is up. We are getting dangerously close to a brink of collapse

      In my opinion, home prices will need to fall by at least 40% before the market normalizes. If you do not know whether to buy a house or not, it is best you seek guidance from a well-experienced advisor for proper portfolio allocation. So far, that’s how I’ve stayed afloat over 5 years now, amassing nearly $1m in return on investments.

    The moral isn't lump sum vs monthly it's about time. If you did the lump sum at the end of the year instead of the beginning, it would be worse than the monthly. Don't save up to make a lump some payment. Pay that balance down ASAP.

      My amortization schedule updates monthly from my balance.. why save up to put down in jan? I think smarter to just pay monthly. It proves that you can manage extra monthly payments if you're capped at debt to income ratio. If something goes wrong in life, you can reallocate they money versus it all being spent in January's lump payment. Better if you can do both and pay down faster.

      There is always an opportunity cost. You just have to decide if the opportunity is worth more than the cup of coffee right now. Right now my wife and I are debating extra payments on the mortgage vs investing the money in something that gives a higher return. We can make more by investing, but there is also that satisfaction and piece of mind with paying off the mortgage, which would be like getting the cup of coffee.

    I guess this would make sense if you incurred the debt or received the $1200 at the beginning of the year, but that's rarely the case. Most people pay extra monthly as they get the money. Of course it would have been more efficient to pay sooner, but most people aren't in that situation. Similarly I wouldn't save up 1200 this year so that I can make a big lump sum in January; I'd just pay it as I have it this year which would result in less interest paid.

  • @gloopgloopglorp

    Paying extra annually only works if you can pay the amount up front. In your $20,000 loan example, it would be better to take out a loan for $18,800 so you never pay interest on that 1200 your first year. Then it would be best to pay extra as soon as you have the money instead of saving it til the beginning of the next year. That way you don't pay interest on owed money you could have already paid off. You just need to see how often interest is calculated. If it's a credit card that calculates interest daily, then you should pay extra the day you have the extra money. If it's a mortgage where it's calculated once a month, you can just tack the extra onto your monthly payments.
    Your logic here is really screwy because it assumes you'll have the lump sum of extra money up front. Most people get the extra cash to put towards a loan from their paycheck, which is where your system wouldn't work. The only way your plan makes sense is if you use your tax return or a bonus from work to pay extra.

    How about the timing of when to pay the extra money each month?

    So would I pay just that $210. And then make my original $510 payment?

    does paying $50 bi monthly pay it down even faster? Than $100 extra monthly? straight to principal

  • @TheFirstRealChewy
    @TheFirstRealChewy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The concept is the same regardless. The faster you pay down the principle, the better. The best approach is to apply the extra payments each month after making the initial big payment you can make. So if you have the money up front for the first year, pay it, then pay monthly after that instead of waiting a year to make another big payment unless you are investing the money each month before you make the big payment. Even then, the short term investment (after taxes) has to make more money than you save by paying down the loan to make the investment and hassle worth it.

      Well that depends on the bank. Some lenders only allow extra payments to go towards the next months payment and not towards principal only. An example is federal student loan servicers. Most mortgages and auto loans will allow you to make additional payments but you must be sure you choose principal only or tell the bank that you want the additional amount to go towards the principal only.

      In that case it would probably be better to pay the extra hundred dollars each month provided it goes towards your principal loan. That way your interest payments will gradually reduce over the year, rather then stay the same. Instead of your interest payments staying the same throughout the year and then suddenly reducing once you make the lump sum payment. The whole problem with his approach is that some people might not have the extra cash lying around at the start. If you do it makes sense, but if you don’t you may as well put your money to work on the extra monthly payments. Furthermore let’s say you are trying to get ahead by year 2 by saving up 1200 dollars. It would again make more sense to put this money towards your principal as soon as you have it rather than waiting a whole year to try and lump sum the principal.

      Hello, this is an amortized loan. You are spot on! If you make a principal payment to the penny it will fully erase the interest column. Example; A principal payment of $446.63(#37 Jan)would erase $32.29 in interest. By taking this approach, your greatest power is at the front of the loan. Each month the interest is decreasing, while the principal is increasing. Therefore, each month it becomes more expensive to save less.
      Also note that you must track these additional principal payments like a hawk(no pun intended😂). The lender can apply these additional funds to the loan in a manner that you did not intend thus decreasing your leverage, & increasing theirs. This is why I make additional “principal only payments” to the penny. TRACKABILITY.

    The problem is, why did you have the lump sum at the beginning of the year? If it's coming from a tax refund, maybe you need to have less taxes withheld. If it's a bonus at work maybe negotiate to have it spread out during the rest of the year. That way you can pay it even earlier.

    I'm so glad I came across this video. I just bought a car and my agreement period is 72 months... I had enough money to put a 3-4K down payment down but I was advised by my boyfriend that there would be no point in doing that. Was he wrong? I actually just made my first payment on the car but I definitely have plans to get the car paid off early. Why pay the minimum if I can afford to make bigger payments every now and then? My goal is to pay as little as possible in interest.
    Thanks for the tip!

    • @commoncentsmike7733
      @commoncentsmike7733  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would say putting the money down would have been better. It would have gotten you a smaller monthly payment, and possibly a lower rate if it meant you could go with a shorter loan term. That said however, it really doesn't matter all THAT much because you can still make an extra 3-4K payment whenever you want!

    Mike, I understand paying 1200 at the beginning of the year in your video, aka front loading the discount. But in my scenario, i plan to pay an additional $40 per month principal only payment ($480 annu) on top of the regular $760 monthly payment. Is there much savings in using this strategy vs paying $800 - $1000 monthly, by making 52 annual payments at $200 par week?

    • @SuperDannyrulez
      @SuperDannyrulez 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If your mortgage has interest calculated daily then the biweekly payments would be better. This is because for 15 days of the month you'd owe less than the other 15 days. This can snowball and help more over time. (EX: you saved $30 by doing this one month and now you are not charged interest on those dollars so your next interest charge is even lower) If your interest is calculated once a month it might help if you can get extra payments in before the interest is calculated.

I'm really trying to get my score up, so I want to have on time payment history. I have about 5K saved up that I wanted to put toward the principle of the loan, but wouldn't it then be payed off earlier so I wouldn't get as many good payment history? What's the best thing to do to get my credit up and also not pay as much interest?

    • @commoncentsmike7733

      When it comes to paying off a loan early, I will pretty much always advocate doing that. I think you can pay it off early and still have the positive payment history. The only time I wouldn't say pay the $5k is if you don't have any other emergency savings. If not, maybe pay half of that.

      This doesn’t answer your question that well but I was making decent enough money to pay for 3 cars a month. My mother and sister had bad/no credit established from years ago. I agreed to help my mom the first year and told her i would take the vehicle if she stopped making her payments. Then refinanced her off my name once she hit the year mark and her credit went up. Following year I did the same steps for my sister. It’s not always good to mix family with business but I sky rocketed my credit from 670 to 800. This is possible to do if your not making a car payment and you have extremely good faith and trust in who you help. Got my first car at 23 and it was a lease, lowest payment I could get with no established loan credit even though I had no dings. Got a job where i was provided a company vehicle and got rid of my lease. So i was building credit even though I didn’t have a car payment. Multiple ways to do this but trust is a big factor, currently 27
