Hi guys!
[1]
It's Natalie from CleanCutCouponing.com.
[3]
I have something super, duper important to talk to you today about.
[6]
I have been meaning to make this video forever.
[8]
I even got a sharpie that's how serious it is.
[11]
We are going to be talking about an Amortization Schedule and how you can pay off your mortgage
[15]
super, duper, duper early.
[18]
So let's go!
[23]
If you have a mortgage you know that you are going to be paying principle.
[31]
You are going to be paying interest.
[32]
You pay for your taxes each month.
[35]
Ok.
[36]
This mortgage payment is probably your largest payment.
[40]
This is where you can save probably the biggest.
[43]
Groceries is a huge place that you can save but your mortgage definitely you want to save
[48]
here.
[49]
First off what is an Amortization Schedule?
[50]
So basically what this is when anytime you have a loan this will break up your interest,
[55]
your balance, your principle and it puts it into a graph, an excel chart.
[61]
However you want to do it.
[62]
You can find your Amortization Schedule by calling your bank or how I did was going online
[67]
and you can print it off there.
[68]
What you would want to do is most likely go into the loan information tab online, account
[73]
information or something like that.
[75]
Click around and your schedule should be on there.
[78]
If you do not have access online to your Amortization Schedule give your mortgage company a call
[83]
and they will give it to you most definitely.
[85]
They will send it to you.
[87]
They might charge you.
[88]
Maybe not.
[89]
This is just a professional chart that I drew up for you guys.
[93]
How professional.
[94]
But any I wanted to talk you I wanted to do this video for quite sometime and I just kept
[98]
putting it off, putting it off and this is very important because your mortgage if you
[102]
have one is one of your largest debts but its a big equity too.
[106]
Right!
[107]
I look at our home as our savings account.
[110]
But really its not your savings account until you pay it off.
[113]
So if you think about that if I paid my mortgage all the way down to the dollar and just had
[118]
a dollar left its still not my home.
[121]
It's not my home until I pay that last dollar off.
[124]
So keep that in mind.
[125]
That is something to think about.
[127]
Let that toss around your head.
[131]
A real quick history too.
[133]
My grandparents had their homes paid off.
[135]
Things like that.
[136]
My Dad's side and my Mom's Mom.
[138]
I seen them be able to live comfortably and not have to really worry about anything.
[144]
That was always a goal, a motivator like Wow that is amazing!
[148]
Paying it off early.
[149]
I could watch my GrandFather this was amazing.
[153]
So he paid him homes off very early.
[155]
When I was a little girl we would go to the bank if he was going to go get a brand new
[158]
car I loved going with him because he would go to the bank, pull out the cash he needed
[163]
to buy the car.
[164]
Go buy the car.
[165]
Pay for it with cash and everytime he would be driving on the way home he would say to
[169]
me this is how you should live.
[171]
This is how you should live because you don't want to owe anybody anything.
[175]
That always stuck with me ya know like I would think ok so as a young adult I would think
[181]
well he was rich so that's why he could do that.
[184]
But he became well off by saving, by paying things off and by not owing people debt and
[190]
you can too!
[191]
Even if you are in a bad place right now.
[193]
You are not going to be there forever.
[194]
Guys, don't think you are going to be there forever.
[197]
Mike and I?
[199]
Mike and I we have been through some stuff.
[201]
Oh my gosh!
[202]
We had credit card debt.
[205]
I would always want a new car.
[206]
Ya know so we had to pay on a car loan.
[208]
We don't have any car loans right now.
[210]
Everything is paid.
[211]
Our goal now is to pay our mortgage down.
[214]
When you get there the first thing you want to do is go for your debt.
[217]
Don't have any debt.
[218]
Ok.
[219]
It's good to keep a credit card for your ya know if you need like something for crazy
[223]
emergency, a water heater or whatever broke in your home or your car.
[227]
That's ok.
[228]
It's better to have a savings account though so until you have that savings account keep
[233]
a credit card ya know.
[234]
Try not to max it out or anything like that.
[236]
If you are not at that place yet its ok.
[238]
Don't even worry about it.
[239]
Alright so Amortization Schedule.
[242]
This is how you are going to pay your mortgage off way early.
[245]
So when you get a mortgage typically the bank will give you a 30 year mortgage, 20 year
[248]
mortgage, something like that.
[250]
You'll have an interest rate.
[251]
A good rate is between 2.5 to 3 percent.
[254]
4 is ok.
[256]
Try to keep it below that though and around there.
[258]
You don't want to go higher then that because if you have a $200,000 loan and you are paying
[263]
5, 6, 7% that is a lot of money.
[266]
I don't recommend that you do a refinance either.
[268]
Unless you are doing to just get that rate way lower and you know several numbers lower
[275]
not just one number or something like that.
[277]
Ya know because when you do a refinance you are resetting your mortgage.
[281]
You are resetting your Amortization Schedule.
[284]
So let's say you had already lived in your home for ten years and you are just seeing
[287]
this video now and you are like wow I should get a better interest rate.
[291]
Then you do that you have just reset your loan again and most likely it went into a
[295]
30 year and now you are paying more interest.
[297]
Unless you are refinancing to get a 15 year mortgage loan or something like that and a
[301]
lower interest rate but other then that typically don't recommend refinancing.
[306]
Let's say you have a 5% interest so I'm going on the high end.
[309]
So lets' say you have 5% interest rate and your loan is for two hundred thousand dollars.
[315]
This column here is your payment amount.
[319]
So you have five payments you are going to probably have three hundred or three hundred
[322]
sixty.
[323]
For this loan there would be three hundred and sixty payments.
[327]
This is when you would have it paid off.
[329]
2048!
[331]
That is by making no extra payments and you wouldn't be utilizing everything that I'm
[335]
about to talk about.
[337]
Now if you utilize what I'm about to talk about you can pay your loan off really, really
[340]
quick.
[341]
You have a two hundred thousand dollar mortgage loan.
[344]
Your payment is $1073 per month.
[347]
Your interest that you are paying monthly is $833 guys.
[352]
That's insane!
[354]
The principle.
[355]
So you would be paying towards the principle of the loan amount which is right here.
[360]
$240.
[361]
You are making $833 interest payments.
[366]
That's crazy!
[367]
Right!
[368]
If you want to make an extra mortgage payment or an extra principle payment this is how
[371]
much you need to pay to make that extra mortgage payment.
[374]
Ok so you would need to pay $240 for one extra mortgage payment.
[380]
What that does then is remember how I said we have three hundred and sixty mortgage payments?
[385]
Instead of having three hundred and sixty now you are down to three hundred and fifty-nine.
[390]
By paying one principal payment you are now down to three hundred and fifty-nine payments.
[396]
So you would be paying your monthly payment of $1073.
[400]
You have to pay that and then you'd be paying an extra mortgage payment of $240.
[406]
This goes towards your principal amount and now you are down to mortgage payments and
[413]
you are going to lower your time that you would have this paid off.
[416]
Instead of the year 2048 you would be paying this much earlier.
[420]
If you can make just one mortgage payment extra a month.
[423]
What my husband and I are doing is no less then four mortgage payments a month.
[429]
Ok.
[430]
We're doing four mortgage payments a month.
[431]
Again if you are not there and you can't do that don't even worry about it.
[434]
Just you'll get there.
[435]
He works extra.
[436]
I work extra.
[437]
So we just work.
[440]
We also enjoy life too.
[443]
We are not to the point where we are like super, duper strict ya know if you've ever
[447]
heard of Dave Ramsey.
[448]
He's awesome.
[449]
He'll definitely you can get a lot of his courses for free online and on YouTube.
[453]
But yeah he gives a lot of good information.
[454]
Buy anyway mortgage.
[455]
Back to that.
[456]
By making these regular mortgage payments every single month what happens is here with
[461]
your Amortization Schedule when you print it out and look at it your interest does go
[466]
down.
[467]
So see its $833 and then its eight thirty two, eight thirty one, eight thirty, eight
[472]
twenty nine.
[473]
So your interest is going down every single month and then your principal balance that
[478]
goes towards your principal each does go up a little bit too.
[481]
So we started at a two hundred forty dollar principle payment now its two forty one, two
[486]
forty two, two forty three.
[487]
So see but again take a look at that interest like that interest is crazy!
[492]
So if you can make a payment.
[495]
Just one extra per month and not pay on that interest that is amazing.
[499]
If you didn't make any extra payments and you took this loan out today 2048 is when
[505]
you would have this paid off.
[506]
For a two hundred thousand dollar loan that is crazy.
[509]
Ya know I want to take I want to take the money that I have and I want it to go to good
[516]
use.
[517]
I don't want to pay interest and by the way that interest that you would be paying is
[520]
a hundred and eighty five thousand dollars in interest.
[525]
That's another whole mortgage.
[526]
If you paid this and didn't make any extra payments you would pay a hundred and eighty
[532]
five thousand dollars in interest that is insane.
[536]
So yeah we are definitely all about making extra payments and just trying to knock this
[541]
out.
