Ask Geri: True Cost of Borrowing (Part 2): Diminishing Balance Amortization
Not all loan providers offer this option. But from time to time I encounter this option especially for mortgage / home loans. If Juan is presented such an option and s/he can afford the amortization using diminishing balance, s/he should go for it to save some more on interest payments.

Ask Geri: Should I Take Out a Loan to Finance a New Business Venture?
In funding major expenses such as a home improvement or getting car, tendency is to take out a loan rather than deplete Juan’s savings. No monetary return (i.e. actual cash inflow) is expected from a much improved home or new car (except for appreciation in property value and net worth) but Juan is still willing to get a loan as long as he can pay for the amortizations. What more a business wherein there is a chance, no matter how small, of a monetary return.

Fully or partially pre-term your loans. I know this sounds so killjoy but hey, delay of gratification is always gratifying. And think about this. Imagine the interest savings you can get by pre-terminating your loans. Or the freed up money that used to be spent on amortizations.
