Aussie FIRE | Financial Independence Retire Early

48. Offsets vs Investing: What’s Really Best for Your Mortgage?


Listen Later

Should you pour extra cash into your offset account, stash it in savings, or invest it? In this episode, Dave and Hayden break down the numbers and trade-offs that every homeowner faces.


We cover:


  • Why offsets slash long-term interest but don’t help your monthly cashflow
  • The cases where savings accounts can compete
  • How investing stacks up against offsets, and the risks involved
  • The role of interest rates and how debt recycling can tip the balance


Whether you're mortgage-stressed or just looking for smarter ways to grow wealth, this episode will help you see offsets, savings, and investing in new ways.
