    A common mistake is mixing the fee and interest savings. If the customer could accelerate the loan paymentthemselves and not pay the USEA membership fee the misperception is they would save $399. The fact is theywould have put an extra $399 towards the loan earlier which would have bought them some additional interestsavings (~$20-$50) and some additional term savings (+$399 towards principle).With that understanding, if USEA saved the member $500 interest and paid the loan off 5 months sooner with a$399 fee, what would the estimated benefit be if the member did it themselves with no fee?
