<prompt> Human: Something I realized the other day and Im kicking myself for not doing this sooner: you can pay loans like your student loans weekly instead of monthly. Or however often you want assuming you still hit that monthly payment amount. It saves you on interest and if done right you can slip in a few extra payments over the course of the year.Example:Right now I have a 500month minimum payment, roughly 100month of that is interest if paid monthly.Instead of paying 500month, pay 125week, maybe every Wednesday or whatever day you prefer. Right now my loan servicer is reporting about 18 of that goes to interest. 4 x 18 72month assuming 4 Wednesdays in a month, saving me about 30month in interest.Since there are a few months with 5 of your particular weekday in them, if you can afford it you can slip in several extra weekly payments per year. Instead of paying 500 x 12-months 6,000year, you end up paying 125 x 52-weeks 6,500year, combined with the interest savings. Youre ahead 850year -.In this specific example, even if you dont make those extra payments youre still ahead over 300year in interest savings alone just by changing your payment habits.  <response>: Better yet, just pay as much as you can when you can. If you get paid every other week just make a payment every paycheck instead of holding half for the next week.
