Today’s rates a fair to good investment guy will tell you to take the largest loan. Then 30 days take cash towards principal to basically bring loan down to 7-15 years. Your yearly interest becomes minimal, we have never kept a 30 year mortgage for more than 10 years.

I can’t remember the last time our cars didn’t have zero interest, and never carry balance on CC’s.
