Lower your interest rates

The next monthly bills we looked at were our loans.  With interest rates so low, my husband and I looked at what we could get refinanced.  Our auto loan was at 7% interest, but recently we got it lowered to 3.9%.  Saved us $185 a month!!  However, we did extend our loan another 5 years.

We are currently trying to get our house refinanced, but it is proving a little harder.  There is a potenial $100 a month savings, we just have to work on lowing our debt to income ratio.

As for credit cards, well honestly I don't know where things are at with those.  A couple years ago, my huband and I transfered the balances on our higher rate cards to some lower rate ones.  Credit cards are a little harder to deal with than they used to be. It would be nice to call them up and ask for a lower rate, but I'm not sure they do that anymore.
