There is so much information out there about how to choose the correct mortgage but if you really want to save money, it’s what happens next that matters. So, how do you pay off your mortgage faster? What are the tricks?

Switch to rapid repayments

Here’s some food for thought: with a $300,000 mortgage, amortized over 25 years (essentially, an average mortgage), rapidly repaying your costs would save you $19,887 in interest payments, plus it would slice 2 years off your mortgage (based on an interest rate of 3.52%). And if you don’t believe me, do the math yourself with a mortgage calculator.

But how do rapid repayments work though, I hear you mumble? Bi-weekly rapid payments split your monthly payment in half, meaning you pay it every other week. This means you pay one full extra payment every year. That one extra payment saves you hell loads of interest. Happy days!

Make lump sum payments

Let’s use our average mortgage example again: if you made lump sum payments of $1,000 each year on a $300,000 mortgage amortized over 25 years, you would save a massive $10,747 in interest, plus cut a whole year off your mortgage.

Ok, ok, so you’re saying where the hell does he expect me to find an extra $1,000 a year? I don’t have that kind of money just lying around. Well, saving $1,000 means putting aside $83.50, or cutting back on 17 lattes a month. Obviously, each person’s budget is different, so just be sure to figure your own personal expenses and budget from there. Just think of the money you would save in the long run.

The great thing about lump sum payments is that the payment goes directly towards the principal of your mortgage: you’ll be paying your mortgage instead of just paying off that pesky interest.

Do NOT sign your mortgage renewal letter

You’re a few months away from your mortgage renewal letter and chances are you’ve completely forgotten about it. So you get a letter from your bank letting you know that it’s time to renew but, not to worry, because all you need to do is sign this letter, send it back to them and they can renew it for you automatically. Aren’t those lovely people at the bank just so helpful, always looking out for your
best interests? NO! Don’t do it! Don’t sign it!

Here’s a newsflash: the bank will NEVER give you the best rate straight off the bat. It’s in their interests to offer you the rates that suit THEM before you finding the ones that suit YOU.

So, even if you’re sticking with your current lender, make sure you at least negotiate the rate. Secondly, consider looking at other lenders. Compare the market and find the current best rates. If your lender can’t match the competition, consider switching teams.

It’s important to remember your renewal date, however distant it is. This will prevent fines.

Compare mortgage rates

It’s a simple fact that those who compare mortgage rates save big money. There are no two ways about it – it’s just TRUE! So, if you don’t compare, you’re doing yourself a massive financial injustice. For instance, users of one particular site who compared rates save an average of 72 basis points (0.72%) on their
mortgage, over those who opted for the five big banks’ discounted rates.

Based on our average mortgage of $300,000 amortized over 25 years, rate comparison site users would save around $35,000 in interest over the course of their mortgage.

It’s a no-brainer. Get on a rate comparison site now and see just how much you could be saving!

Today’s post is a guest post from my friend Ryan at Life Fresh out. Ryan is a young guy living in Boston learning first hand about the real world. He writes at LifeFreshOut.com, and hopes to share information he’s learned since graduating from college that he wishes he knew before. Life, money, and careers are some of the topics he covers.

Young adults are notorious for making bad decisions in life. I’ve made plenty myself and I’m only a few years in. Here are five common ones I’ve seen myself and others make.

Underestimating the total cost of big-ticket items.

When I moved away from home to start my career, I had the car my parents and I shared while I was still at home. After a few months of working, I decided I wanted a change. I wanted to buy my own car. So after months of research, I went to a dealership and bought a brand new car. Now I had done quite a bit of calculations and decided that while a new car might not be the best financial decision, I could afford it. Here’s where I ran into a little trouble. All of my calculations were based on assumptions and not on reality. So when I got my first flat tire ever, I hadn’t planned on the uncommon tire size of the new car costing more to replace. Or that I would want to replace all four tires after my second tire problem a month later. Also, my previous car was a gas sipper and while the new one is still pretty economical, it’s not as efficient as I predicted. I underestimated the cost.

Not taking care of your health

It’s easy to just assume that your health is going to remain as strong as it was in your teens. As we get

older, inevitably we are going to develop some problems. And these problems will end up costing us in

money both in doctor visits and medication. At one point, I was feeling a little ill, but ignored it figuring it was nothing. Eventually it worried me enough that I went to the hospital. As I describe in a post, that ended up costing me big. A quick trip to the doctor earlier would have saved me a boatload.

Not paying enough/paying too much when buying small items

Many of us who read blogs like WLGYL are pretty conscious of our spending habits. We try to save where we can, but we also think that some things are ‘worth’ spending money on. Unfortunately, many times we get this wrong. I love to cook, so the kitchen is one area where I fall victim to this constantly. When I moved into my first apartment, I bought a large set of cooking utensils that came out to roughly $1 a piece. Thinking I was being frugal, I was pretty proud of myself. Obviously, these were pretty cheap, and many of the items bent and broke within a few months. I had to replace these and of course felt pretty dumb for wasting money. On the other side, I thought I would splurge and get a nice grill pan. I had never owned one before, so I burned a lot of food onto it within the first few weeks. Eventually it was ruined and I had to toss it.

It comes down to learning what items we should spend a little more money on, and what items we should get cheaper versions of to practice on first before upgrading to higher quality. Easier said than done.

Thinking things will last longer than they do

This one encompasses the previous three, but I think it’s worth its own special acknowledgment. I’ve been pretty proud of the fact that I drastically cut back on my spending on clothes once I started getting serious about budgeting. So much so that I don’t really even think about buying any new clothes most of the time. The truth of the matter is that I wear the same couple of pairs of jeans every week. Because of that…they are starting to get a little tattered and frayed, a few spots of spilled juice haven’t really washed out, and my style has matured a little making some of them less appropriate for me to keep wearing to work. Now that I realize I need some new clothes (with a little help from jokes from my friends), I also realize that I did not budget for replacing my wardrobe or really most things I own. I just kind of assumed they would last indefinitely once the initial purchase was made. Not realistic.

Paying avoidable fees

I picked up my first speeding ticket recently. It was completely avoidable, and was solely because I was annoyed at some traffic I had run into a few minutes earlier. That ticket cost me over $200 and could potentially increase my insurance premium for years. Other fees including bank fees, late fees on bills, and last minute shipping charges are also completely avoidable. A little planning and a little patience go a long way to saving money.

Most of these mistakes are from being young and inexperienced. So in the end all we can do is hope to make as few mistakes as possible, plan a little more in our budget than we think we’ll need, and then learn from the mistakes when we do unsurprisingly make them.

What is one or two avoidable mistakes you made/make as a young adult?

Like any romantic union, your relationship with money probably started out in a passionate state of

euphoria. Maybe you met when you were young, and Money was your childhood friend Allowance. Or maybe you didn’t get together until that summer after high school when you met at your very first job. Every love story is unique, but in every case Money was like a missing piece that made you whole. You should date your money.

This Valentine’s Day when everyone is professing their love for their significant other or proclaiming their happiness in singledom, I encourage you to spend some quality time with your money. Find out where it’s

doing well and where it needs a boost. Talk about your struggles and ask for help. If this is going to be the first time you tell Money about Credit, be gentle. Always make sure your money is getting the love and support it needs to grow. Now might even be the time to make a lifelong promise to your money by putting it in a retirement fund. Just like love, RRSP is a four-letter word! In any case, I wish you and your money a very Happy Valentine’s Day together — may you show your love & affection for one another every day of the year.

Are you going to date your money this year?

In money
I pay myself first. I try to keep our fixed costs low and track our spending very closely. But when things come up … like an opportunity to take a trip I can’t pass up … while I do try to be extra-frugal in other areas that month, I’m generally inclined to save a bit less than go Super Saiyan on cutting back elsewhere.

In my head
I don’t generally consider myself a Type A. However, when it comes to things in my personal life, I can be … inflexible. Once I set my heart on a plan of action, should it be derailed for whatever reason, I may or may not have a bit of a tantrum. I’ll be honest, I worry myself sometimes. The sheer rage that comes over me is usually way out of proportion to the situation. On the other hand, it doesn’t last long, and I don’t go punching holes in walls or anything – I usually just storm off and maybe have a huffy cry.

At work
I’m a pretty awesome employee. I’m productive, manage a sh*t ton of tasks and rarely waste time, even though the temptations of being online all the time are major (I barely have time to check the news more

than once a day, and tend to rely on coworkers to alert me of stuff I’ve missed). The nature of my job means there’s always more I could be doing. But I’ll admit I’m not always doing myself a favour working so hard. I’m not big on small talk, and I don’t drink coffee, so I don’t really take part in serendipitous ‘watercooler’ conversation (is the coffee machine a gathering place in your office too?). And I almost always eat lunch by myself – my workflow usually means I eat later in the day than others, and I do so over a book or catching up on blogs. For a workplace our size, I actually don’t see that many people in the lunchroom, either.

At home
I don’t make my bed. Ever. And I just generally don’t clean as often as I’d like to (I don’t think ‘like’ is the correct term there – I don’t *want* to clean more often; who does? But I know I should).

In health
I’m Asian, so I don’t burn as quickly as less-pigmented folk. That said, I’m not entirely immune to bad rays. The thing is, I really dislike sunscreen – even the lightest, least greasy of formulas. Of course, I slip slop and slap when we head out to the beach, but on a daily basis in the summer, I probably sunblock off my face … a quarter of the time? Oh, and I actually quite like Big Macs. (Plus McDonald’s has the best chips.) Stone me now.
