Should I get a fixed or variable interest rate?

Profile	Suggestion

You are cautious and sensitive to rate fluctuations.	Choose a fixed interest rate: Guaranteed for the duration of the term. Predictable. Easy to manage. Convertible to a variable-rate loan at any time without fee or penalty.

You are daring and moderately sensitive to rate fluctuations.	Choose a variable interest rate: Follows market fluctuations Advantageous when rates are stable or falling. Generally lower interest rate than the current fixed rate. When rates drop, your payment amount remains the same but the duration of the loan may decrease. Convertible to a fixed-rate loan at any time without fee or penalty. The interest rate will be the current fixed rate at the time of conversion.
