I'm kinda stuck between two options: shortening my loan term to pay it off quicker or lowering my monthly payments

I was in the same spot a few months ago — couldn’t decide between lowering my payment or shortening my loan. I ended up refinancing through Dream Home Mortgage, and honestly, it was the best move. They walked me through both scenarios with real numbers, and I chose a shorter term since it saved me a lot in interest over time. What I liked most was how clear and stress-free they made the process. Definitely worth talking to them if you’re stuck deciding.

Honestly, being stuck between those two options is super common, and it’s smart you’re weighing them out. Both have their perks—shorter term means less interest, but lower payments can give you breathing room month to month. When I was in your shoes, I actually made a spreadsheet to see how each option would impact my budget and credit over time. It felt overwhelming at first, but just taking it step by step really helped. No wrong answer here—it’s all about what fits your life right now. You’ve got this.
