While keeping your payment level at $500 you could reduce your total debt payments (principal and interest) from $41,661 to $28,694 and be out of debt in 4.8 years instead of your current projected 15.0 years. This represents a reduction of $12,967 and 10.2 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 $87,475 over that same time period.<table
