People who say they saved 100K in interest are completely biased in their advice. Paying your loan off early may have saved you money or might cost you money. For you to account for have much you SAVED you need to state what the going rate for savings (opportunity cost) during that same period of time. Then you need to factor in taxes and run your numbers. I’ll make a bet you do this and that 100K savings gets whittled away pretty quick.

ParticipantPhrases like “as low as” “up to” “around” are marketing phases. They also help to sell advertising. Without knowing what the loan note is the only thing I get from the article is that Countrywide is going to work with borrowers to maidfy loasn. Whether this helps or not only time will tell.

If you ahve a WAMU account you can simply take advantage of their MMA’s that are paying 5%. The benefit of this is that if you ahve a WAMU account you cn move the money same day from checking or savings to the MMA. IF you are using other accoutns as secondary to your bank accounts you lose 3 days of earned interest while the money is in transit.
Anoth place to take a look is through COSTCO. They ahve a partnership set up with capital one that is paying over 5%.
I would also advise comparing this to CA Tax Free Muni bond funds offered through discount brokerage adn comparing the tax free rate vs the taxable accounts.
