How borrowing works locally

A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes.

Interest on a line of credit accrues only on the drawn portion, not on the unused limit. Disclosure requirements mean the cost of borrowing must be stated before an agreement is signed.
