What's funny-sad is I keep getting offer letters for this program where they will "let" you make an two 1/2 payments a month instead of one, but it costs $10 a month. On top of that, the payment doesn't take effect until the 2nd of the two payments, so they're basically sitting on your money for 2 weeks. And you pay an extra $10 for the privilege!

I've had a couple mortgages over the years and they all offered something like that which is dumb..except for one, who actually DID apply the payments when received, and if I recall correctly, would have paid off the loan about 20 months early. Thats a crazy difference and just shows how much interest factors into a 30 year mortgage.
