Luxury Items & Vacations

The Importance of Early Additional Payments
If it is ever possible, making lump-sum payments early in your repayment plan makes a big difference to the overall quality of your balance. Earlier loan payments typically go towards your interest more than your principal.
Therefore, making larger payments than scheduled will directly decrease your remaining principal. The less principal you owe, the less interest you pay.
