By making extra payments, and if your loan currently has a very high interest rater, refinance it so the interest you are being charged is less.

For example, if you have a 200,000 loan at 6.5% interest and 30 year term, paying $300 extra per month reduces the number of monthly payments by 141, or 11.75 years, and reduces the interest and total paid by $113,531.55.

Reducing your interest rate on the same loan above from 6.5 down to 4.5 reduces your total interest from 255,088 to 164,813.

Both methods are huge cost savers.
