The correct answer is: **Longer loans cost more overall.**
This is because, while a longer loan term (like a 10-year loan as opposed to a 5-year loan) generally results in lower monthly payments, you will pay more in interest over the life of the loan due to the longer period of time that the principal is outstanding. Therefore, the total cost of the loan (principal plus interest) will be higher for the longer term loan.
