A quick pay off will reduce the future capital lost to interest, unlock the portion of your monthly income that was previously used to service this debt, decrease the risk lenders perceive in lending to you, and decrease the consequences you may face when you end up with a bad deal (those are part of the game and there is really no avoiding them).
