    1. Reduce your principle

Try to prepay at the beginning of the loan when interest is the highest. You may not realize it, but the majority of your monthly payment for the first few years goes toward interest, not principal. And interest is compounded, which means that each month’s interest is determined by the total amount owed (principal plus interest).

    2. Round up your mortgage payments

    Another way you can help reduce the term of your mortgage significantly is to round up. When budgeting for your mortgage payment, round up to the next highest $10 amount. Pay $300 instead of $296. Or $680 instead of $671.
