OT: Good News I just saved $219.00 a month.
Well I found out today that I get to refinance my house and the wife’s car to lower interest rates. So I will save $219.36 per month by refinancing. With the housing market like it is I was only able to get a 5.25% 10 year fixed loan from my Credit Union.
The big banks don’t want to loan money for less then $200,000.00 and I owe less then $80,000.00 on the house. But over the next 10 years it will save me a bit more then $25,000.00 in interest. I know some say it cost a lot to refinance but my Credit Union is doing it for only $1250.00 and the 25K saving is after deducting the cost to refinance the house.

nice. . .so what kind of rate did you have on your house???
and how many letters in the mail do you get saying you can finance for a new 4.5% rate. . .I did the math on my house. it would cost more over the life of my loan to refinace even though Ive got a 6.0%. however I would have 18 fewer payments to make.

I tried to work some magic with my insurance agent today. All I was able to save was $14.00 a year. They were billing me the 14 for towing should i need it. I already have AAA, so I didn't need it.
Congrats on the monthly savings DB, and more importantly the 25K savings !! That's GOTTA feel good for sure !!

Derw,
My interest rate was 5.25% on the house and now I've not seen any mail offering 4.5%. The last time I saw one with an offer below 5% they also wanted to charge you $5,000.00 or more to do the loan so that means it would take over 2 years to just recoup the loan cost. If you could get a bank to loan you any money now days they want 6.25% or what ever the going rate is today as it has gone up 1% in the past 2 weeks.
