    I have a mortgage and a home equity loan
    I have a fixed rate mortgage 6% and a variable rate equity loan now @ 2.5%. My equity loan amt is 2X my mortgage
    Should I pay extra on. MY mortgage because of the higher interest rate or pay extra on the equity loan because the rate could go up at any time
