Understanding the "Rent on Money"
When you take a loan, you're essentially "renting" money from the bank. The Interest is the rent you pay for using their capital. In long-term loans like a 20-year Home Loan, you often end up paying back double what you borrowed.
How Banks Collect Their Rent
Loan repayment uses a system called "Amortization". In the early years, almost 70-80% of your EMI goes toward paying interest, and very little goes toward reducing your actual loan (Principal). This is why loans feel "stuck" for the first 5 years.
The Strategy: Extra Payments
Paying even one extra EMI per year, or increasing your EMI by 5% every year as your salary grows, can reduce a 20-year loan to 12 years. This saves you lakhs in interest "rent".
