Most people think you need a huge raise or a big refinance to make a real dent in a 30-year mortgage.
You don’t.
On a $483,000 loan at today’s rates, adding just $200/month toward principal can:
• Cut ~2.3 years off the loan
• Save ~$35,000 in interest
• Create ~$107,000 in long-term financial benefit
That’s not a trick.
It’s just math — and consistency.
Small decisions, repeated over time, create compounding results.
