to reflect the new balance. This nets you a lower monthly payment, but your loan term and interest rate also stays the same.

This can work wonders for your wellbeing. .—You can’t leverage your home as easily: A home is an illiquid asset, meaning you’ll need to either sell it or obtain a home equity loan or line of credit to take advantage of its value. If you know you’ll need quicker access to cash, it might not make sense to put your money into your home prematurely.
