With the current economic uncertainty, many people are looking for ways to reduce expenses. A relatively painless way to reduce your monthly expenses is to have a second look at the way you're managing your debt.
Over time, most of us take out a variety of loans for different purposes. These can include things like credit card debt, car loans, home renovation loans and, of course, the mortgage. And if you have more than one loan, you're most likely paying a different interest rate on each loan.

Typically, your lowest-rate debt will be a loan that is secured by an asset, such as your home.
