I still round up to the nearest 100, so I'm paying about $15 extra per month, but no more. But I so want to pay it off early! It's taking a lot of will power to keep from prepaying it.

You get around 300% interest on the money I added just 10.00 a month to my payment and ever 5 months was a full payment My interest was also charged on a daily basic too so paying one day ahead each month saved us 19,00 a day in interest.
