My brother and I have bought a residential mort- gage of approxinrately $100,000 on a house we bought three years ago. We have rolled this mort- gage over six times or every six months when it came due. Cur- rently, the rate is 5.5 per cent and the next renewal date is Septem- ber, 1994. At this rate the savings are obvious, as the current five year mortgage rate is 9.25 per cent or 3.75 per cent higher than what we are paying. This represents an actual cash savings of approxi- mately $3,750 of annualized interest payments or $312 of after tax savings each months. Just imagine what you could do if you had an extra $300 to spend each month. Here is where the trouble lies and the opportunity is hiding If you simply take that extra $312 of new monthly cash flow and spend it you can get yourself into trouble.
