You understand this about payments, right?

Your payment is part interest & part principle.

The principle part doesn’t really cost you money. If the principle part is $1000, then your checking account goes down $1000, but your equity in your home goes up $1000.

It is only he interest part of the payment that costs you money. It is an expense. Principle repayment isn’t an expense.
