If you choose to refinance it can help alleviate your daily debt; however, if you get that loan on a longer pay off or lower interest rate you might be in debt longer even though you are saving money monthly. With that in mind, choosing a loan with the same payoff time as your current loan and getting a lower interest rate would be your best bet. That way, you will be able to save thousands of dollars in the long run.Choosing to shorten your pay off rate will raise your monthly payment and that can compromise your income to debt ratio.
