1) Use you pay day to your best advantage!
Get your salary direct credited to your line of credit; (get a line of credit if you dont have one equivilent to a months salary);
2) Fially use your Credit Card to benefit you!
Use your credit card for 45 days to get free credit for that period; pay it off from your line of credit on the latest possible day to avoid interest); The free interest and small reduction of debt has a big compound interest benefit over time;
3) Inject some fibre into your mortgage diet!
Make your mortgage payment with greater regularity. Make pyments fortnightly if you’re paying monthly, has a big impact on compound interest paid over a long time.
4) Pay more!
If you can, adjust your payments to be the equivalent of paying your mortgage off over 15-20 years Principal and Interest, not 20-30 years as you pay a lot more interest.
For example a $500,000 loan over 30 years at 7% has a monthly payment of $3,327, if you change the payment to $3,876 you will pay this loan off over 20 years. This is a saving of $267,186!!
