Retirement- Bi-Weekly Myths

Retirement with a Mortgage Case Study: Biweekly Payment Plans - Myths, Misconceptions and Alternatives


Maybe you are considering or paying on a mortgage every two weeks, in most cases, the loan servicer is paying the loan monthly. A consumer who buys into a biweekly plan is actually loaning the servicer half of your mortgage payment, interest free, for at least two weeks every month.

In addition, the convenience of biweekly payment programs comes at a cost. Of the top five mortgage-servicing institutions, four charge enrollment fees that range from $295 to $379. Three also levy additional charges on every transaction. If your elect to pay biweekly , thus avoiding the hefty upfront charge, fees from the same top five servicers range from $4 to $9 a month.

The truly beneficial aspect of biweekly mortgage payments is the two additional half-payments going toward the principal each year. In other words, by making 26 biweekly payments, you are effectively making 13 monthly payments instead of the customary 12. Depending on specific loan terms, one extra payment a year may enable you to pay for your home an average of six to eight years ahead of schedule

Myth #2: Paying twice a month reduces the mortgage’s compound interest.

A true biweekly mortgage, set up at loan origination or during refinancing, is rare, and is not offered by all lenders; however, it is possible to get many of the benefits of a biweekly payment schedule without the extra costs.

Alternatives include:
  • paying an additional one-twelfth of the mortgage payment each month, while specifying on the payment stub or coupon that the amount should go toward the principal.
  • inquiring about the option of sending a half-payment every two weeks without enrolling in the bank’s biweekly program.
  • adding the equivalent of one extra payment to the mortgage, possibly from the proceeds of a bonus or tax refund. The consumer should specify that the additional money is meant to go toward repayment of the principal.
  • for borrowers who are paid biweekly, taking half of the amount of the mortgage payment from each paycheck and putting it in a savings account, then using all of the funds in the account to pay the mortgage each month. At least twice a year, the borrower will be including the equivalent of an extra half-payment.

Interior Projects That Dress Up Your Home

Does your kitchen need new life? Is your living room boring? Adding decorative elements can transform bland spaces into rooms that look finished and sophisticated. Here are a few features that can help you create a polished look in your home.



Crown Molding -- Whether simple or ornate, this decorative trim contributes a stylish finish and draws the eye up to the ceiling. Though it can be challenging for the beginning DIYer, adding crown molding can enhance the visual interest of a dull room and increase the value of your home.

Wainscoting -- Made up of boards or paneling, wainscoting extends from the floor partway up the wall and is often paired with molding. (Wood is traditionally used for wainscoting, but these days other materials are also common.) Though it was originally added to rooms that received a lot of wear and tear like kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms, wainscoting is now associated with a more formal look and can be installed by an experienced handyman.

Chair Rails -- Chair rails are often used in addition to crown molding or wainscoting. This feature is applied horizontally around the perimeter of a space at about one-third of the room's height. Chair rails are used to create visually pleasing proportions.

Ceiling Medallions -- These decorative disks are often used in dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms to highlight a hanging light fixture. Medallions come in all sizes and styles and are relatively simple to install.

Faux Ceiling Beams -- Create the look of exposed structural beams at a fraction of the cost and labor of the real thing. Available in a variety of materials, faux ceiling beams add character and charm. If you choose wood, you'll likely need help installing the beams due to weight and safety concerns.
