Faster payoff, yearly lump sum or monthly?
I have a goal to pay off a large loan in 10 years. Let’s say I have 10K available to put towards extra principal every month. Would I end up paying the loan off faster if I did one lump sum payment of 120K per year, or doing 10k every month? Seems like with amortization it makes some difference. Is there any difference or is it the same? Does one get me there faster?
