If you're a mortgage holder, you know all too well the frustration of paying hundreds of thousands in interest over the life of your home loan. But did you know you can wipe years off your mortgage and save hundred of thousands in interest, using the power of an offset account?

In this episode we breakdown: 

• What is an offset account and how does it work? (in simple terms)
• How much could you save? We compare scenarios with $10,000, $50,000 and $100,000 in an offset account to show you the potential interest savings
• Our tips to maximising the benefits of an offset - so you can live mortgage free faster
• Should you save or invest? We weigh up whether your savings are better spent in an offset account or invested in stocks
