How do I pay off a car title loan faster?

I was approved for a car title loan, but the interest rate is nearly 20%. I don't think I can afford to pay that much money! How can I pay this loan off faster so that I don't have to pay so much interest?

Whew—that’s a high interest rate, and a great question! To pay your car title loan off early, you have several options:
  • Getting a side hustle or gig to earn more money
  • Paying money toward the principal each month on top of the monthly installment
  • Refinancing
    the loan with a lower interest rate and llower payments
  • Make payments more frequently or double up each month
  • Don’t miss any payments, as this can add penalties to your balance
In the future, you may want to apply for a personal loan with a lower interest rate or get a
