Don’t Set And Forget Your Finances

Erin Ryley – Manager  

With household expenses and personal circumstances constantly changing, now is a great time to make sure your money is still working as hard as possible for you.

A simple financial review can help identify opportunities to improve cash flow, better structure your accounts and potentially help you achieve your goals sooner – whether that’s paying off your home loan faster, building savings or simply feeling more in control financially.

For example – if you're looking to make your home loan work better for you, here are a few strategies to consider:

  • Make extra repayments – adding even a small amount to your regular repayments can reduce interest and loan term.
  • Keep money in an offset account – to reduce the interest charged on your loan. Similarly, using a redraw facility allows you to access extra repayments if needed, while still reducing your loan balance in the meantime.
  • Review your loan regularly – checking in on your loan, especially as circumstances change, can help ensure it still suits your goals. Finding the right tools, staying consistent and being supported by people who understand your goals can go a long way in making a difference!
