The Greatest Money Advice Nobody Ever Gave You
How just 0.5% on your mortgage can cost (or save) you over $140,000
Most people spend more time picking a cell phone plan than they do comparing mortgage rates.
And that, my friends, is one of the biggest financial mistakes they’ll ever make.
No one ever teaches you this stuff:
- What does half a percent even mean?
- How does compound interest really work?
- And why does it seem like your loan balance barely moves for years?
Let’s fix that right now — because what you’re about to read could literally change your life.
Real Example: The $400,000 Mortgage
Let’s keep it simple. Say you’re borrowing $400,000 on a 30-year fixed loan.
Here’s what happens if your rate is 7.0%< vs 7.5%:
That’s $135 more every month — and $48,400 more in interest — just because of 0.5%!
Compound Interest: Working Against You
Here’s what nobody explains:
Compound interest doesn’t just work for your savings account — it works against you when you’re paying off debt.
In a mortgage, most of your early payments go toward interest, not principal. So when your rate is even a little higher, it compounds over time and becomes a monster.
The bank earns more. You keep less.
But there’s another way…
What If You Invested That Extra $135 Instead?
Let’s flip the script.
What if you got the lower rate, pocketed that $135 each month, and invested it at a modest 4% annual return?
Here’s what you’d have after 30 years:
$93,697 in savings
Add in the $48,400 you didn’t pay in interest, and…
Total Benefit: Over $140,000
Let that sink in.
By just shopping smarter for your mortgage and investing the difference, you could be over $140,000 ahead. That’s not “maybe money” — that’s real wealth, built by being intentional.
Why Most People Miss This
Because no one teaches it. Not in school. Not when you apply for your mortgage. The truth is:
- Most buyers don’t shop hard enough for a loan.
- Most don’t even know they can.
- Most don’t know how.
- And most overpay — quietly, for decades.
At House Karma,
we’re here to change that.
