How much money do I have to pay towards the principal each month?
Q. Just got a 30 year mortgage and plan to pay $200.00 towards the principal each month, to pay the mortgage off 10 years early. How much more money do I have to pay towards the principal each month?

A. We need more detail - how much you have borrowed and the rate of interest. We only know you plan to pay $200 towards the principal - we don't know the agreed terms, how much the scheduled payments are. Tell us more and we can give an educated guess about how much extra you need to pay to finish 10 years early N.B. Should that read 200 - seeing this question is in UK section?

Can a principal legally look through your pictures on phone?
Q. I got my phone taken up today at lunch and the principal looked through my pictures. Is this legal? Isn't it an evasion of privacy? Oh and I got in trouble for cheating because I had pictures of the answers to a final on there. That's how I know he looked through them but he had no probable cause

A. It's hard to make that case since you actually were cheating. But if it's a concern, turn the password lock on, and then nobody can look through anything without your say-so.

Mortgages: when do you start paying more principal than interest?
Q. Re: a loan with a standard structure (ie NOT interest only or some other 'exotic' structure). So the early repayments are mostly interest, and the proportion of interest declines and the proportion of principal increases over time, right? At what point does the proportion of principal start to match or exceed the proportion of interest? Obviously there are some variables (interest rate, length of loan, etc) but I'm looking for a ballpark figure. One third of the way through the life of the loan? Half way? Two thirds?

A. When you're half way through, that's when the interest goes down and the principal goes up. You can call your mortgage co and request an amortization that will show you the break down
