While keeping your payment level at $2,550 (which includes an extra $500 to your monthly debt service), you could reduce your total debt payments (principal and interest) from $257,000 to $257,000 and be out of debt in 8.4 years instead of your current projected 14.0 years. This represents a reduction of $0 and 5.6 years. Further, once all debts have been paid off, you could invest the same monthly payment amount at 5.00% and accumulate a savings account balance $179,928 over that same time period.<table
