I have approx 18 years left on a 30 year mortgage, about 70,000 left to pay off on 5.5% rate. Is it even worth refinancing?


I would at least consider taking it down to 15 years and getting to 4% or lower (depending on current rates) - your payment will be close and you'll make 36 fewer,

(ETA: Which is free money without interest. I'm not going to go on a rant about the "free money" advocates, but y'all forget that housing itself has a value).

This is my goal, even playing with the idea of going down to 10 years.
