Funny thing is my monthly payment only went up by $48. My interest used to be 2/3 of the payment and now it is below one third!

Crazy times!
Yep same here. Payment went up less than $100 going from a 30 to a 15 and I was only 5 years in. It was such a no brainer.
Definitely worth it if you are early on in the indentured servitude game. I am starting my third year into this death pledge.

Even though I throw extra onto principal as much as possible, I see myself in this for for several years or less. Cutting down the rate has helped us immensely. I feel like a small burden was lifted off, can't imagine what it is like to not have a mortgage anymore.
