What's inside

Start simple this week. Step up when ready.

Methods 1–3 are set-up-this-week simple. Method 4 is a periodic tune-up. Method 5 is genuinely advanced — and the guide says so.

METHOD 01

Chunking

Big lump-sum hits straight to principal, on repeat — deploy, rebuild, repeat. Both Australian versions (offset and line-of-credit), the guardrail formula, and the honest maths on when a well-run offset beats it.

METHOD 02

Payment mechanics

Three free tweaks: true fortnightly payments (26 fortnights = 13 monthly repayments — one extra a year), holding your repayment when rates fall, and rounding up. Plus the lender trap that quietly cancels the fortnightly trick.

METHOD 03

The 100% offset account

Cut interest daily while your cash stays fully accessible. How to run it like a pro — salary in, card trick, consolidate — plus offset vs redraw and why the difference matters if the home ever becomes an investment.

METHOD 04

Refinance smartly

A lower rate without resetting the 30-year clock, the "loyalty tax" reprice call that can save thousands in five minutes, and the switching-cost maths that decides when to stay put.

METHOD 05 · ADVANCED

Debt recycling

Turning non-deductible home-loan debt into deductible investment debt — how it works, why it's powerful, and why it belongs with a licensed adviser and an accountant, not a Facebook group.

Every method: step-by-step setup, worked example, quick checklist
Every method: the real risks and who it doesn't suit
Fixed-rate caps, redraw traps and fee fine print flagged throughout

Every dollar of interest you avoid is a dollar you keep.
