I'd suggest, if you haven't already, figure out how the financial functions
in a spreadsheet (openoffice is fine) and you can slice and dice mortgage
payments any way you want and map out changes in interest and monthly
payments. Checking.. the NPER() and FV() functions are the one I used.
Tricky bit is for mortgage the present value is negative (I think). Double check
against a reference if you can.
It helped me to decide to go with just paying extra every month rather
than re-financing since we have a low rate. For us it let us figure
out how exactly much extra to get it to 0 by the target date. Everything
else can go into other investments. That's what made sense for us,
but as they say "your mileage may vary".
Good luck, and sorry if I'm preaching to the choir as they say.
