Mortgage Basics: How 2 = 1,000

Now Shawn sees how $1 = $5. Before we learn how $2 = $1,000, let’s quickly review.

  • If you understand interest, you will collect it
  • If you don’t, you will pay it
  • Interest is always at work
  • The longer you are in debt, the more interest you will pay
  • The faster yuou get out of debt, the more you will save
  • The sooner you make a debt prepayment, the more you will save
  • In fact, most new homeowners will save $5 if they prepay just $1 for the first 5 years of their loan.
  • And it scales:
    • 1 = 5
    • 10 = 50
    • 100 = 500
    • 1,000 = 5,000

Now let’s look at how Shawn can turn $2 into $1,000.
